Tea is more than a beverage it is a civilization in a cup. In the verdant valleys of Assam, where the mighty Brahmaputra flows and the air is thick with humidity and history, grows one of nature’s most extraordinary gifts: Camellia sinensis var. assamica. This plant, which the Singpho tribe had known and treasured long before any colonial power set foot on Indian soil, transformed the world’s tea trade forever.This book, The Legacy of Assam Tea, is written for every stakeholder who has a stake in this remarkable industry the seasoned tea manager who oversees hundreds of acres of green, the student stepping into the world of tea science and agronomy, the entrepreneur who sees in every flush an opportunity, and the curious traveler drawn to the romance of colonial bungalows and mist-covered tea estates.The narrative begins at the very origin of tea in the mythic courts of ancient China and traces its extraordinary journey across continents and centuries to the hills and plains of Assam.
