Question 2.
What details do you gather about tea from the lesson, ‘Tea
from Assam’ ? [Value Based Question]
Answer:
Tea was first drunk in China. Even the words ‘Chai’ and ‘Chini’
are from Chinese. It goes back to 2700 B.C. In the 16th century
tea came to Europe. There are unlimited tea fields in Assam.
Unlike the other farms labourers, who might never carry the
harvest on their backs, the tea pluckers, i.e., the groups of
women were there hanging bamboo baskets on their backs.
They pluck the newly grown fresh tea leaves from the plants
and store them in their baskets.
