What would England be without tea? It is difficult to imagine, but there was a time in which tea was not quite as ubiquitous in Europe as it is today. 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)

A Pernicious Parcel of Phlogiston

(3,5 Sterne)

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.

(5 Sterne)

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