Summary: "Tea, Its Mystery and History" by Samuel Phillips Day is a comprehensive exploration of tea as both a beverage and a cultural phenomenon, authored during the late 19th century. This historical account delves into the origins, trade, and societal impacts of tea, likely reflecting the Victorian era's fascination with global trade and cultural exchanges. The book is rich with information about tea's botanical characteristics, its journey from ancient China to Europe, and its growing significance in social settings. The content of the book is meticulously organized into chapters that cover a wide range of topics—from the legendary origins of the tea plant, including intriguing stories and traditions surrounding its discovery, to its introduction into England and the subsequent rise of tea culture. Day analyzes the various types of tea and details the qualities of the leaves, its virtues, and the transformations tea underwent in its journey through trade. He addresses the social implications of tea consumption, extolling it as a "drink of health" while warning against adulteration and misrepresentation in the tea trade. Through vivid descriptions, historical anecdotes, and scientific insights, Day presents tea not merely as a beverage but as a significant cultural touchstone, shaping social customs and public health.
