Mineral composition of clonal tea leaf from North‐East India

Abstract

Data are presented for the inorganic chemical constituents of tea leaf collected from four different clones grown in Assam. Samples were collected on three different dates during the period July to September, 1g56. Analyses were made separately of bud, 1st leaf, etc. The data presented show that chemical composition of tea leaf varies not only with physiological age and date of sampling but also with the clones.
