| Summary | "Tea, its history and mystery" by Joseph M. Walsh is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work aims to compile comprehensive information about tea, exploring its origins, cultivation, and significance in various cultures, particularly focusing on its historical development and prominence as a global commodity. The book likely serves both the expert dealer and the general reader interested in understanding the complexities and allure surrounding tea. The opening portion of this treatise sets the stage with a prefatory note about the author's motivations for compiling this work such as his personal experiences in the tea trade and the lack of existing literature on the subject. It establishes that the book aims to be utilitarian rather than original, guiding readers to a detailed exploration of tea’s early history, its connection to China, and its gradually expanding role in global markets. The discussion introduces legends surrounding tea's discovery, the socio-political implications of its trade, and its eventual emergence as a staple beverage in societies worldwide. Moreover, it highlights various accounts and opinions regarding tea's origins, suggesting a rich tapestry of cultural significance intertwined with its commercial value.
