Download or read book A Cup of Tea written by Joseph Walsh and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-09-11 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the PREFATORY. UTILITY, not originality, has been aimed at in the compilation of this work. The difficulties and obstacles its author had met with, in his endeavors to learn something of the article he was commissioned to sell, when he first entered the Tea business, and the almost total lack of knowledge displayed by the aver- age dealer in the commodity, allied to the numerous inquiries made from time to time for a work, containing "all about tea," first prompted the undertaking. The material was collated at intervals in a fragmentary manner, and arranged amid the many interruptions incident to a business life, being subjected to constant revisions, repeated prunings and frequent corrections, due mainly, to the conflicting opinions and varying statements of authorities in every branch of the subject. Yet, as careful an arrangement of the data has been given as possible, a faithful effort being made to omit nothing that may prove useful, instructive or profitable to the general reader, or those who trade in or use the article. It was compiled under impulse, Hot under inducement. Not a line being intended originally for the market, and is published solely for those "whom it may concern." "While rendering due credit for much of the contents to the appended publications, viz., Johnson's and the Encyclopedias Britannica, Americana and similar works, its author feels called upon to express his indebtedness particularly to Mr. David M. Stone, editor-in-chief of the New York Journal of Commerce for the invariably kind, prompt and valuable information furnished him in his efforts to produce "A Cup of Tea." Aware that many errors may have been committed, and many facts have been omitted, he would ask of those who may bestow any attention on the work, to assist him by pointing out what is erratic, or furnishing what has been omitted. So that he may be enabled to rectify the one and supply the other. Still he trusts that the pains he has taken to avoid both have not been in vain, that the former may be few, and the latter of no great importance. To the critic, his reply is, that the best has been done with the abilities, facilities and opportunities at command; to the cynic and pseudo "expert" Surpass it!

Download or read book Seeds of Change written by Henry Hobhouse and published by HarperCollins Publishers. This book was released on 1986 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating account of how five plants-quinine, sugarcane, tea, cotton and the potato-have impacted on humanity since the 16th century. The significance of these plants has been felt socially, industrially, and economically in myriad ways. A few examples give the flavor of this book. By alleviating the debilitating effects of malaria, quinine opened up the tropics making possible the development of the resources of Africa and Asia, plus making available vast numbers of people for cheap labor. Millions of black people were taken to the Caribbean to grow sugarcane, for which there was an addictive demand. A great demand also developed for tea in Europe because it was a stimulating, nonalcoholic drink. To pay for the tea, the British exchanged opium, which caused the decline of China. Cotton prolonged the use of slavery, a lucrative trade in itself, and ultimately led to Civil War in the US even though slavery had already fallen into disfavor in other parts of the world. By citing many primary sources, Hobhouse graphically illustrates the changes in the course of human history that are attributable to plants rather than to the human factors usually cited. New insights and perspectives on the impact of plants and nature gleaned from this book are compelling. Highly recommended.-C.S. Dunn, University of North Carolina at Wilmington--Choice Reviews.

Download or read book Curiosi tea written by Camellia Cha and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CURIOSI-TEA is a laugh-out-loud read, touching on topics which are fascinating and curious. This brand new book presents the world of tea in a fresh voice with a distinctly zany approach to history and cultures by means of comic illustrations, maps and tongue-in-cheek poetry. 'Curiosi-tea' presents quirky anecdotes on almost anything you care to think of (not just tea!). Here, tea has been linked with topics one would NOT normally expect to find in a 'Tea Book': fairy tales, music, sex, nano-technology, radioactivity and of course the topics you WOULD expect: politics, royalty, monkey-business, trade, health, camels and the origins of tea such as China. This impeccably presented, witty and well researched book covers topics as diverse as the history of tea in Korea and Iran, botanical espionage and the sexual innuendo of tea. CURIOSI-TEA begins in Antiqui-tea and ends with Infini-tea and covers world history with topics as diverse as Promiscui-tea (Earl Grey), Exclusivi-tea (dahongpao), Tranquili-tea (matcha), Femini-tea and the Goddess (tie guanyin), Strip Teas (Breakfast Tease) and Inabili-tea (Dong Ding) to name a few. CURIOSI-TEA introduces the reader to a huge range of teas and the 6 colour coding system of tea production. That's right, there are not just black and green teas! If you are an avid devourer of anecdotal history with an interest in East-West relations and an appreciation for puns and relentless dry humour, this book is for you!
