THE TROPICAL AaRlCCJLTURIST. [May 1, 1903. 
GREEN TEA. 
Production a year ago was in its infancy, but 
80 rapid has been its growth, stimulated by the 
cess, that Ceylon estimates to displace black tea 
during tiie current year to an extent of no less than 
over 12 uiillion lb. India is also making marked 
progress in this direction and will add an appre- 
ciable quota. These teas are being freely incro- 
duced in Canada and the States whilst H )nie 
dealers also, in many cases, find them suitable lo 
their requirements. Those " finished " in the new 
style are particularly liked and owing to iheir 
cheapness compared with China kinds are recei\ - 
uid more attention ; the producing of this style 
of Indian and Ceylon (rreen is, however, practi- 
cally only in an experimental stage and has great 
possibilities in the future, Vaiious machines are 
being tried, one recently brought out in Calcutta 
being specially well spoken of.
