A book comprising anecdotes and snippets from the lives of tea planters - a breed that lived in far flung and remote areas which were, in some cases, not connected by rail or road and depended heavily on weekly air supplies that were delivered by war vintage Dakotas or single engined aircraft that landed on grass strips built by plantation labourers. Scottish and British planters were the pioneers who felled vast jungles to create Plantations. They built roads, factories, and bungalows for themselves and for their wives who visited from Scotland and England. They built clubs where they played games (tennis, squash, cricket, soccer and polo) and where they danced, entertained, and drank to ease the solitary life and cope with the rugged living conditions. A thoroughly entertaining volume that describes the amusing tales and episodes of the life of tea and coffee planters from northeast India, south India, and the Highlands of Papua New guinea.

These are stories, snippets from the day to day life of tea and coffee planters. They are mainly my stories – I spent thirty three years serving in tea and coffee plantations in India and Papua New Guinea: from 1959 to 1992.I say mainly my stories because I have also included amusing stories told at the bar in tea clubs, usually late at night, with slurred words, halting speech, and good humor – a close and genial time when the true character of a tale is revealed.Planters lived a simple life and so the stories are simple and from the heart. They lived a hard life which too is revealed in the telling. They made their own entertainment – cut off and living in far flung estates in large plantation bungalows staffed with a retinue of servants – no TVs only radios with weak signals over-laden with static; they entertained and kept sane by visiting, partying, and dancing. “Some nights I rode to the club,” said Ome Anand, “the advantage being that if I got too sozzled I lay on the neck of my horse that unerringly, got me home.” Furtive, short, love affairs blossomed here and there – with a ground swell of well healed, healthy, young bachelors, it was only but inevitable.Hunting was taken up by many and tennis, cricket, football, etc. was played by all. Managers insisted that youngsters visit the club and play games, “Keeps them out of mischief,” they said. Young Assistant Managers were not allowed to marry during their first tenure (usually three years) and so formed strong friendships, visiting each other regularly. Club nights were very popular and allowed an outlet to the loneliness of living by one's self.A good salary, generous accommodation including extensive flower and vegetable gardens, with a number of servants thrown in made an ideal situation where a young executive might like to bring home a bride. Not being allowed to marry during the first tenure turned some into keen hunters, sportsmen, and keener club revelers; others, to escape the loneliness of living alone, had women visiting; and whilst some temporarily kept 'garden women', others retained their women for years, and still some married them – especially when children were born.

This book is about the history of Earl Grey Tea and includes also recipes and less known interesting facts. This book might be a perfect gift to all Earl Grey Tea lovers maybe including yourself!Earl Grey Tea is the most popular black tea variety and is often featured during afternoon teas. It is great served cold or hot and pairs with food fairly well. You can even use Earl Grey Tea loose leaves and tea bags in your cooking and fancy beverages.As a black tea, Earl Grey Tea's flavor is bold. It also has a citrusy hint, unlike Orange Pekoe black tea. Earl Grey's citrus hints are because of the addition of synthetic or natural bergamot oil. While Earl Grey Tea varies from producer to producer, the taste of it is described often as refreshing, bright, and bold.While the English made Earl Grey Tea popular, it is not a British invention. The Chinese are often credited in the creation of flavored and scented teas - Earl Grey included. Chinese tea masters infused all sorts of flavor and fragrance (from wild rosebuds to jasmine flowers to lychee fruit to sweet oranges) to their teas to create drinkable and distinctive beverages.Earl Grey Tea is just named Earl Grey because it's attributed to Charles Grey, the 2nd Earl Grey, who became Britain's Prime Minister during the 1830s.
