PREFACE 



TO 

 THE SECOND EDITION, 



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

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

 whatever 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 information on any point can be at once found. 

 The manufacture 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.
