Tea garden workers arrive to weigh tea leaves after plucking them from a tea estate in Jorhat in Assam, India, April 20, 2015. Unrest is brewing among Assam's so-called Tea Tribes as changing weather patterns upset the economics of the industry. Scientists say climate change is to blame for uneven rainfall that is cutting yields and lifting costs for tea firms. (Photo by Ahmad Masood/Reuters)
