Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Grocery Trade, Vol. 2: Its History and Romance There is no more fascinating story in the whole history of the grocery trade than that dealing with the introduction, and subsequent rise in popular favour, of tea and coffee. It was during the time of the Commonwealth, when this country was strongly agitated by political and religious differences, that these beverages first began to appear in this country. For centuries before this, tea had been drunk and almost worshipped in China and in Japan; its virtues had been extolled by poets and philosophers, its numerous varieties had been eagerly sought out, and even tournaments had been arranged in its honour. Yet it is but as yesterday that this beverage found its way into Europe. In 1606 the Dutch merchants imported from China a quantity of tea, giving in exchange some dried sage, a herb so much appreciated by the Chinese that they gladly bartered four pounds of tea for one pound of sage.
