Abstract

Through the unique forum of InternationalJournal of Tea Science (IJTS), we are pleased to bring out the 4th issue of Volume 8 for the year 2012, albeit a bit late, before our honoured readership. On behalf of the Editorial Board of IJTS, allow me to encourage and invite authors and other key contributors to submit value-added research papers and other article sfor disseminating crucial information pertaining to Tea Science. The current issue brings out some important research papers, reviews and on-site approaches, which should help scientists, stakeholders in the tea industry and associated policy makers.
