Abstract: The first living plants of tea (Camellia sinensis L.) were brought to Sweden in 1763 by Captain Carl Gustaf Ekeberg (1716-1784), with help from Linnaeus. This was said to be the first successful introduction of the plant into Europe. This dissertation discusses the plant, its preparation and uses, the qualities of tea, and its medicinal use.
