Facts About Tea.

Americans can hardly be called a tea
drinking people, but as Of late years after
noon teas have become very popular and
the oriental leaf has become a social factor
a few facts in regard TO IL may be Of use.
The tea tree is little evergreen shrub.
which fourishes in its perfection in East
ern Asia. 1t is unnecessary to say that
the leaves are picked at certain seasons
and dried, being known to commerce
under the general names Of "black" and
green" teas. AS drink tea has been
used in Japan and China from the
earliest times. Tea was introduced into
Persia and Russia about the middle of the
sevente teenth century. Toward the end of
the eighteenth century it began to be culti-
yated in Java, Ceylon and India. Within
he last century an attempt has been made
to grow tea in Europe, but without sue
cess. The Dutch were the first to intro
dnce tea into Europe and for a time they
had complete control OF the trade. Il was
hrst sold In Amsterdam and brought its
weight In gold, but ii should be said that
lt was at first regarded not as a beverage
for daily use, but as a very valuable medi-
cine.
From Holland Lord Arlington intro
duced it into England about the close of
the seventeenth century. when it sold for
about SIC per pound. Early in the eigh-
teenth century England began importing
tea direct from China and its use spread
so rapidly that in very short time it be-
came the chief domestic beverage of the
eople.-Exchange.
