Tea from Darjeeling

Tea from Darjeeling.

The first trial of the tea plant at Darjeeling was made in 1841, with a few seeds grown in Kumaon from China stock. It was quite successful as to its growth, and the quality was approved of by the Assam tea planter who vsited Darjeeling in 1846, and made the first lea here. The original plants are now to be seen. All are of gigantic size; one is a bush 50 feet in circumferene and 20 feet high.
