YE GREAT TEA MEN OF GODONG 
The fac- 
tory buyers 
have to be 
shrewd 
men, ableto 
judge how 
much mois- 
ture still re- 
mainsin the 
leaf, as some 
country- 
men try to 
skimp the 
sun drying. 
However, 
this often recoils on them, as they get a poor price, because 
over-damp tea may go sour in transit to the factory. 
Each day the depot sends its purchases to their factory, 
where, after a preliminary firing to preserve it, it is stored until 
sufficient leaf has been collected to make one or two hundred 
packages of finished tea.
