Thanks all.

The tea is just a standard black tea called Majura, which sells in Australia. I'm not sure if it's exported to other parts of the world. It is very nice to drink so I don't waste too much on photos

It's a lovely shot made extra good with the tea toning. Must try this, any tips?

I get a tray and put 2 tea bags in it and add boiling water (enough to cover print). I let it cool for 4 minutes then put the print in there and agitate the whole time to stop uneven toning.
This is with resin coated papers, I haven't tried with fibre.

Tea toning is just a process, but what makes this shot is the expression in the eyes.
