What surprised Mr Barua? Why?
Rajvir shared his knowledge about the tea plantation with Mr Barua. He told him about the second-flush or sprouting period of tea i.e., from May to July that yields the best tea. His extensive knowledge about the tea plantation surprised Mr Barua because he did not expect it from someone who had come there for the first time.
