Tea drinking in India has a long and rich history, with tea having been consumed in the subcontinent for centuries. My goal for this book, The Indian Tea: A Cultural and Historical Overview of India's Tea Industry, is to explore the history and significance of India's tea industry and the many ways in which it has shaped Indian culture and society.

This book is intended to serve as an introduction to the rich history and culture of Indian tea for readers who are new to the subject. It explores the evolution of Indian tea from its traditional roots to its modern-day forms. The book covers various topics, including the development of different tea varieties, the influence of religion on Indian tea, and the impact of the Indian tea industry on the global market. It also examines the economics of Indian tea and the legacy of Indian tea in modern-day India.
