""A Tea Planter's Life in Assam"" is a memoir written by George M. Barker in 1884. It tells the story of his experiences as a tea planter in Assam, a region in Northeast India known for its tea production. Barker recounts his journey from England to Assam, his struggles with the climate and terrain, and his interactions with the local people. He also provides detailed descriptions of the tea-making process, from planting and harvesting to processing and shipping. Throughout the book, Barker reflects on the challenges and rewards of life as a tea planter, and offers insights into the social and economic conditions of the time. This book is a fascinating glimpse into the world of colonial-era tea production, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Assam and the tea industry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
