This 1780 treatise contains some interesting observations on how tea was prepared at the time, and what the benefits of tea were described to be. - Summary by Carolin (2 hr 28 min)

If your thing is antiquated pseudo-science and archaic language, this book is for you! Its a long advertisement for a cure-all herbal tea designed to heal people from the damage wrought by drinking black or green tea. The last two chapters are pure testimonials.

So this is basically a 1790s version of an infomercial - quite interesting!
