SUCCESS OF THE TEA PLANT
IN THE U.S. 1851
This account was found in
the Tuesday , July 22, 1851 Washington, D. C. Daily
American Telegraph and
given by Junius Smith, LL & D , of his successful
experiment of growing the
tea plant in America.
“ Before me I have a
pot of green tea, fresh, that was grown on my plantation.
From
the picking of the leaves
to the drinking of the tea was done in private. Drying was done by
solar heat only. Drying is
so simple that any farmer can make his own tea, just as he does
making bread.
My tea does not have the
fragrance of imported Hyson Tea, but the taste is more pure and
clean to the mouth. It has
not the slightest disagreeable taste but a full delicious
flavor,
a purity and presence
of a sweet refreshing beverage.
My tea is so peculiar that
I use it without sugar and milk and have the taste of tea only. If
a
tea is good anything
added is a detriment “
