PREFACE 



THE SECOND EDITION. 



THREE years' further experience, and visiting two Tea dis- 

 tricts I had not seen before, have enabled me to amend what- 

 ever was faulty in the First Edition. The whole has been 

 revised, and much new matter is added throughout. A new 

 Chapter at the end on the Past, the Present, and the Future of 

 Indian Tea will, it is hoped, be found interesting. An Index 

 (a great want to the First Edition) is added, so that all infor- 

 mation on any point can be at once found. The manufac- 

 ture of Green Tea, of which I was ignorant when I last 

 wrote, is given, and the advisability of that manufacture is 

 discussed. 



In its present form I hope and believe this little work will 

 be found useful and interesting to all connected with Tea.
