Description

 							
  Darjeeling's tea
bushes run across a mythical landscape steeped with the religious, the sacred, and the picturesque. Planted at high
elevation in the heart of the Eastern Himalayas, in an area of northern India bound by Nepal to the west, Bhutan to the
east, and Sikkim to the north, the linear rows of brilliant green, waist-high shrubs that coat the steep slopes and
valleys around this Victorian "hill town" produce only a fraction of the world's tea, and less than one percent of
India's total. Yet the tea from that limited crop, with its characteristic bright, amber-colored brew and muscatel
flavors--delicate and flowery, hinting of apricots and peaches--is generally considered the best in the world.
 

  This is the story of how Darjeeling tea began, was key to the largest tea industry on the globe under Imperial
British rule, and came to produce the highest-quality tea leaves anywhere in the world. It is a story rich in history,
intrigue and empire, full of adventurers and unlikely successes in culture, mythology and religions, ecology and
terroir, all set with a backdrop of the looming Himalayas and drenching monsoons. The story is ripe with the imprint of
the Raj as well as the contemporary clout of "voodoo farmers" getting world record prices for their fine teas--and all
of it beginning with one of the most audacious acts of corporate smuggling in history.
  
  But it is also the
story of how the industry spiraled into decline by the end of the twentieth century, and how this edenic spot in the
high Himalayas seethes with union unrest and a violent independence struggle. It is also a front-line fight against the
devastating effects of climate change and decades of harming farming practices, a fight that is being fought in some tea
gardens--and, astonishingly, won--using radical methods.
  
  Jeff Koehler has written a fascinating chronicle
of India and its most sought-after tea. Blending history, politics, and reportage together, along with a collection of
recipes that tea-drinkers will love, Darjeeling is an indispensable volume for fans of micro-history and tea fanatics.
