A Brief History Of Assam Tea

Very brief indeed, actually, but I guess it's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. From the Plant Cultures Web site. Read it here.

For a more personal take on tea growing in Assam check out "a site about Jokai Tea Co, Assam, India," located right here.

For a rather more in-depth look at the topic you might want to try The Empire of Tea: The Remarkable History of the Plant That Took Over the World, by Alan MacFarlane & Iris MacFarlane. Check out my review of the book here.
