of tea imported into this country from China, are
t h e produce of T. viridis, the differences depending

ages at which their leaves are gathered, and the
modes of d rying. Tea is said to be the best of all
m e d i c i n e s , moderately and properly taken; it is
g e n t l y ast r ingent ; it s trengthens the stomach and
bowels ; and is efficacious agains-t indigestions. It
r e f r e s h e s the spirits in heaviness and sleepiness,
a n d appears to counteract the effects of inebriating
