Explanation:

The introduction of Chinese tea plants, different from Indian Tea, to India is commonly credited to Robert Fortune. In 1778, the East India Company requested Sir Joseph Banks to prepare a feasibility report and as per his suggestion, experimental planting took place between the 26th and 30th parallels of latitude. But only as late of 1793 did the East India Company take steps to plant Tea in a Private Botanical Garden of Colonel Robert Kyd at Sibpur, Calcutta.
