Tea Vendor Weighing Loose Leaf at Berat Market

Loose-leaf tea spills across a worn wooden counter beside a glistening fish display, its deep greens and browns against the silver scales of the seafood. A precision scale sits centered, its metal pan holding a mound of dried leaves. Overhead, soft diffused light from an overcast sky eliminates harsh shadows, revealing the texture of the tea and the condensation on the fish. Steam and cooking smoke drift lazily through the narrow aisle, partially obscuring the background stalls. The vendor's hands move with practiced precision, adjusting the leaves on the scale. In the corner, a small pile of paper bags rests next to the weighing station. The scene shows the quiet rhythm of commerce amidst the bustling market energy.
