TTSr FACTS ABOUT TEA SERIES No. 7 TheAdvent of Tea to En^ nd Tea was not used to any extent in England till about the middle of the seventeenth centuiy, although knowledge of the won- derful qualities of the beverage had reached Europe as early as 1517. During the seven- tv'enth century, all tea was imported from China and cost from $25.00 to $50.00 per pound. Not until 1836 did any tea reach England from India. In that year the first shipment was made from the now famous tea growing district of Assam. India to- day supplies fully half the world's tea re- quirements and provides some of the finest teas grown. The rich body of "SALADA'* is due to the select India teas used in the blend.
