Over the past few years I have been fortunate to pick up copies of Tea & Coffee Trade Journal at some trade shows. I loved reading all the articles on tea, but as a mere hobbyist I couldn’t really justify the $49 for a subscription. Fortunately, you can read some of the articles online for free at teaandcoffee.net. Recently, I found a vintage copy of the magazine, and I love it so much I thought I’d scan some of the images at a high resolution in hopes you can read them as well. I'm including some of the ads as well as a feature on the World's Fair held in Virginia that year. (I'm sure not everyone will have time to read the article, but do check out the photos, especially of the Lipton Tea exhibit.) Double click and enjoy!
I didn't take the time to read each one, but did scan over a few. It is incredible the amount of stuff on display. You can't comprehend the extent of tea or it's history until you see stuff like that! Thanks, I look forward to reading all of it later.
ReplyDeletePS- (Got the Newnan-Coweta Magazine Publication! Good write up, the food looked good & I look pretty good too- THANKS SO MUCH!)
Angela, this is facinating reading. Can you imagine being at that World's Fair? Isn't it great to learn some history of the companies whose products we still use today. Also, thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteOh, what a delight!
ReplyDeletePS - My DH (hubby) found a coin in our back yard, as he was digging in the garden. It's one of those that gets stamped in a machine. It was stamped from the 1904 World's Fair - that's the year that Iced Tea was supposed to have become popular at the World's Fair. Quite a coincidence that it showed up in my yard!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed seeing the periodical.
ReplyDeleteOh these are great! If only the pages of a magazine could talk and the history it could share of it's beholder(s). Great post! Have a great day!
