"Tea and Tea Drinking" by Arthur Reade is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the origins, cultivation, and cultural significance of tea, delving into its introduction to England and the various ways it has been consumed and celebrated throughout society. Through its examination of tea-drinking practices, it highlights the beverage's impact on social practices and health. The opening portion of the text introduces the history of tea in England, tracing its introduction by the East India Company and early adoption in society, typified by Samuel Pepys's diary entries. It discusses the early rarity and high cost of tea, as well as the shift towards its increasing popularity, fueled by royal endorsement and the societal establishment of tea-drinking as a fashionable social activity. The text outlines various methods of tea preparation, related anecdotes, and promotes the invigorating qualities of tea, foreshadowing the broader discussions to come regarding its health benefits and societal implications.
