About the book

That refreshing cup of tea you love comes with a million stories, some funny, some enlightening and some scary.

Take a trip with us through the Goodricke gardens and watch the tea story unravel. Learn how tea gardens succeed – they do so because the people who work there year-round to ensure the leaf reaches your cup befriend Nature and work in harmony with her moods, reaping the rewards she offers, using her support to fight pests and enemies. See how man and the wild learn to coexist, and how forests thrive in the middle of the sprawling green tea gardens. Listen to the managers, pluckers, workers and doctors on the estates, each has a story worth the telling. An elephant story, a tiger’s tale, a ghost story, and anecdotes about a tea that sells for thousands per kilo.

This book will amaze you and make you want to experience a world far removed from the hustle and bustle of urban existence. And the next time you savour a sip of your tea, it will taste different, enriched with the taste of life from where the leaf grows.
