The Natural History of the Tea-Tree : With Observations on the Medical Qualities of Tea, and Effects of Tea-Drinking

Omtale

This treatise on the tea bush and the consumption of tea was published in 1772 by John Coakley Lettsom, physician and philanthropist. He describes the botany, processing and use of the plant; however, he concludes that it should be avoided, because its enervating effects lead to weakness and effeminacy.
