The Natural History of the Tea-Tree, with Observations on the Medical Qualities of Tea, and on the Effects of Tea-Drinking
John Coakley Lettsom
Quaker physician John Coakley Lettsom gave the tea-tree the full botanical treatment: class and order, synonyms, soil and culture, gathering the leaves, and the medical effects of the infusion on the human body. A 1772 scientific portrait of the plant behind the world's politest habit. Tea examined before tea was questioned. Study the leaf like a naturalist.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
