Tea comes from the Far East, China and India.
Tea consumption in India dates back to ancient times, but modern manufacture was born in the 1920s erstwhile the British East India Company discovered a native tea variety in the state of Assam. In an effort to break the global monopoly of China for tea, the British grew extended plantations, yet transforming India into 1 of the world's leading tea producers.
Pre-colonial application: chaotic tea came from northeastern India, where indigenous tribes specified as Singfo, Assam, cooked and smoked leaves for centuries. Historical texts besides note that tea leaves were consumed as a vegetable dish or medicinal infusion.
British colonial times, it was in 1823 that Scottish traveler Robert Bruce discovered a wildly increasing tea in Assama. In the 1930s, the East India Company began its commercial cultivation.
Another botanist, Robert Fortune, in a secret mission has smuggled tea bushes and Chinese experts. The vast forest areas were grubbed up to establish extended plantations, mostly powered by contract work and exploitation.
