The Swedes tea : (now rendered into an English compound, by a very distinguished botanist) is a collection of salutary herbs used for breakfasting, and a cheap and wholesome succedaneum for the foreign teas : it is strengthening, pleasant, and reviving; free from the evils which attend the use of tea, and of power and virtue to remove and cure them.

Advertising handbill for a herbal tea. Includes a testimonial from Thomas Baker of Hammersmith, dated January 22, 1770. The tea supposedly "strengthens the stomach, restores lax fibres, cures habitual head-achs, and opens obstructions of the viscera ; by its mild astriction it strengthens the whole habit". It is claimed "the Japonese, who drink a great deal of tea, become paralytic, and the people of China die of diabetes ; diseases hardly known in the happy country whence this mixture has it's name and origin." It was "sold at the London Coffee-House, no.24. on Ludgate Hill, London."
