age, 1 did not encounter 'the tea
bag_until I came west. Ever since
I° have spent immense effort try.
ing to discover w1 y tea, with all
its gentlemanly characteristics,
should have {merited such degra,.
dation. One theory, based on the
fact that coffee requires the water
not be heated above 18Q -decrees
F., is that none of the restaur.
ants possess the wherewithal for
delivering water boiling at 212
degrees F. at sea level,. The'eff:
ect of low temperature water on
tea results in it failing to in.
fuse. The leaves' do not become
waterlogged. In consequence they
float aed clog the moustache anti
beard. Hence .the desc`e'nt to the
strainer and • finally' into the
slough of the tea bag.
11 you study, the matter further
you will find that the tea bag
is a most convenient way of hid.
ing short leaves and dust. While
dust is quite acceptable for teas
such as the green Chinese 'gun.
powder', as you ascend the scale
of leaf size through Chinese yoting
hyson, to hyson and on to Imper. '
ial, you emerge into the black
teas: Darjeeling, Lapsang and
Java varieties. In these the crit.
erion becomes'' a long leaf and
by 'long' is meant lengths of one
and a quarter inches.
There is a little tea garden
in north east India at Peshok,
where the bushes, planted with
precision ; are pruned 'to three
to fiv,n feet high, though this
sister plant of the lovdly camellia
grows to 30 feet, if unrestrained.
Peshok is eight miles east north
east of Darjeeling, right on the
souther:; border of thestate of
Sikkim and 44'miles as the eagle

3,000 feet on ,a rich light soil,
a 'warm climate, moist air and
a plentiful rainfall of from 80
to 190 inches per annum.
Out in the garden arel'ntimerous
tiny Gurkha women, their slit
