Tea from Assam.

The above five samples were produced by the Assam Tea Company.

This Company has been established since 1839, and now supplies the markets of London and Calcutta with no fewer than 1,000,000 lbs. of tea annually. The plant, which is reared in nurseries until it is matured, was first obtained from the shrubs indigenous to the country. It begins to yield in its third year, and attains its maximum production in the seventh. One and the same plant affords the following varieties:—Pekoe, Flowery Pekoe, Orange Pekoe, Souchong, Congou, and Bohea. The kind of tea is determined simply by the number of the sieve through which the dried leaves will pass.
