Coffee & Tea
According to author Dawn L. Campbell, more than 2.5 million tons of tea are cultivated annually in more than 30 countries throughout the world. Originally thought of as a medicinal elixir, tea and its virtues were widely extolled. Thomas Garway, whose coffeehouse first sold tea in 1660, said tea cleansed the spleen, kidneys, and ureters, strengthened the stomach, relieved headaches, expanded the lungs, and helped to drive away colds, scurvy, and colic.
