About This Book

A practical manual explaining how to establish, cultivate, and process tea plantations, covering site selection, climate and soil considerations, nursery and planting techniques, pruning, pest control, flushing and leaf‑picking, and the manufacture steps for both black and green teas. It describes factory arrangement, mechanical aids, sifting and sorting, packing, bookkeeping, and cost calculations, with guidance on garden management, labour, sanitation, and filling vacancies. Later sections present production statistics, accounts of producing regions beyond China and India, market channels and ways to promote homegrown teas, and procedures for weighing and bulking at customs. The work offers hands‑on recommendations aimed at beginners and practitioners.
