The Little Tea Book

Tea enjoys great popularity for many hundreds of years. The beginnings of strong tea culture can be found in China, where for the first time plant leaves have been brewed to the aromatic beverage. By sea the tea came very soon to Europe, where he first had to prove himself as a kind of drug before becoming famous particularly in the English aristocracy. This book from 1903 describes both the history of tea as well as typical regional cooking methods and is also one of its cultural meanings.
