- first book on tea printed in Ottoman Turkish. First edition of the first printed book on tea in Ottoman Turkish. Seyyed Mehmed Izzet (1819-1909) was often referred to as 'Çayci' (the tea man) because of his great fondness for tea. He was a fluent linguist speaking Arabic, Persian and French and Deputy Governor of the Hejaz and Governor of Adana during his lifetime. This is a comprehensive treatise dealing with the entomology of the term 'Çay' (tea), types of tea and how to prepare them, the various uses of tea including it's use as a herbal remedy, among others. Due to the immediate popularity of this publication, a second edition of the text was printed only one month after this edition (containing 69 pages).
