Book excerpt: Excerpt from Popular Treatise on Tea: Its Qualities and Effects The great Anglo-Saxon race are essentially a tea-drinking people; wherever they arc established on the wide world this fragrant herb - this pleasant and gentle stimulus - is considered to be one of the necessaries of life. Tea soon became an established favourite with our ancestors, and its use increased most rapidly. How few now would view with complacency the idea of being deprived of their tea! and yet, if perchance the plant which yields this grateful beverage should be made the subject of conversation, beyond the bare fact, that it comes from China in chests, has a series of hard names, and that the green variety has a bad reputation as being inimical to sleep, we venture to say that, to nine tenths of society as ordinarily constituted, all is a mystery respecting the history, use, fiscal value, or effects on the human frame, of this extraordinary Chinese leaf, which has alternately been lauded as a cordial and denounced as a poison. Simple as it may seem, information on these points is by no means easily acquired; I have not found any work which professes to bring together, in a connected and intelligible form, that valuable and scientific knowledge which, it is true, exists, but has to be sought for through many a ponderous tome; a labour of love it might be to a few, who, like myself, feel a very great interest in the subject, but one scarcely compatible with the inclinations or the avocations of the many. This little Treatise, which I have arranged into chapters, as affording a natural division of the subject and as being convenient for reference, is an attempt to supply in a condensed and, I trust, a readable form, that information which I believe is much needed on the history, culture, statistics, and effects of Tea.

Download or read book A Time for Tea written by Piya Chatterjee and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2001-11-29 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this creative, ethnographic, and historical critique of labor practices on an Indian plantation, Piya Chatterjee provides a sophisticated examination of the production, consumption, and circulation of tea. A Time for Tea reveals how the female tea-pluckers seen in advertisements—picturesque women in mist-shrouded fields—came to symbolize the heart of colonialism in India. Chatterjee exposes how this image has distracted from terrible working conditions, low wages, and coercive labor practices enforced by the patronage system. Allowing personal, scholarly, and artistic voices to speak in turn and in tandem, Chatterjee discusses the fetishization of women who labor under colonial, postcolonial, and now neofeudal conditions. In telling the overarching story of commodity and empire, A Time for Tea demonstrates that at the heart of these narratives of travel, conquest, and settlement are compelling stories of women workers. While exploring the global and political dimensions of local practices of gendered labor, Chatterjee also reflects on the privileges and paradoxes of her own “decolonization” as a Third World feminist anthropologist. The book concludes with an extended reflection on the cultures of hierarchy, power, and difference in the plantation’s villages. It explores the overlapping processes by which gender, caste, and ethnicity constitute the interlocked patronage system of villages and their fields of labor. The tropes of coercion, consent, and resistance are threaded through the discussion. A Time for Tea will appeal to anthropologists and historians, South Asianists, and those interested in colonialism, postcolonialism, labor studies, and comparative or international feminism.

Download or read book The Book of Tea written by Okakura Kakuzō and published by Standard Ebooks. This book was released on 2019-01-24T17:02:28Z with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book of Tea, one of the great English tea classics, is a long essay about the connection between teaism, Taoism, and the aesthetics of Japanese culture. It was written by Okakura Kakuzō in English and was published in the United States in 1906. The essay targets a Western audience and seeks to explain the importance of tea in Japanese culture, not just as a beverage, but as a form of art expressed in different aspects. After a brief introduction of the Western attitude towards tea, Okakura demystifies the admiration of the Japanese people for this green plant by presenting the different schools of tea, its connection to Zen philosophy, and how it has affected the arts. The famous tea ceremony and its rigid formalities are explained, together with the contributions of the great tea-masters. The Book of Tea is considered by many to be one of the first books to introduce Eastern culture and philosophy to the Western world. This was possible due to Okakura’s early contact with the English language and Western thought, but also due to his later involvement in the Asian art division of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, which he came to head in 1910. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.
