Chest record

Garden, plucking day and withering hours.

Tea gardens in Darjeeling and Kalimpong pluck the first flush in spring. We record each chest's garden, plucking day and withering hours, so a buyer can check the flush is from the season it claims.

GARDEN

Each chest names the garden and its estate.

PLUCKED

Plucking day

The plucking day is written, and a flush outside the season is flagged.

WITHER
