Six new Chapters are added. So much has been done inTea since I last wrote, I found it impossible to embody allin the former book, and so preferred to give it separately.The new Chapters treat of—

• Countries outside China and India that produce Tea.
• Tea Statistics.
• Markets for Tea outside Great Britain.
• Making Indian Tea known in the United Kingdom.
• Tea Machinery.
• Weighing and Bulking of Indian Teas at Custom House.

A separate and full Index of the subjects treated of inthe additions to this Fourth Edition will be found at theend of the Book.

PREFACE
TO
THE SECOND EDITION.

Three years’ further experience, and visiting two Tea districtsI had not seen before, have enabled me to amendwhatever was faulty in the First Edition. The whole hasbeen revised, and much new matter is added throughout. Anew Chapter at the end on the Past, the Present, and theFuture of Indian Tea will, it is hoped, be found interesting.An Index (a great want to the First Edition) is added, sothat all information on any point can be at once found.The manufacture of Green Tea, of which I was ignorantwhen I last wrote, is given, and the advisability of thatmanufacture is discussed.

In its present form I hope and believe this little work willbe found useful and interesting to all connected with Tea.
