Virtual Marginalia: Books! Books! Books! Alan MacFarlane and Iris MacFarlane This is a very personal history of tea cultivation in India. The authors are the son and wife of a Scott who managed an English tea plantation in India for 20 years, starting sometime in the 1950s. The son is a social anthropologist. The book moves back and forth from Iris's personal and moving story of what it was like to be a tea manager's wife, and the cultural, social, and political history of Indian tea, particularly in the Assam region. I picked the book up because I'm not only a tea snob, but I'm an tea snob who prefers Indian tea and who's tea of first choice is an Assam -- you can keep your wimpy Darjeelings and Himalayan teas, give me a tea that will peel paint off the walls any day.
