East India Tea and Coffee Bill Opens Markets and Drawbacks
The bill permits sale of Bohea and Single Teas and Coffee unsold by April 5 1776 and Boheas imported before December 31 1776 to be kept five years. It allows drawbacks on exports to Ireland or British America and on Coffee from the 1773 Shrewsbury shipment, with Treasury power to licence imports if the market fails. It also includes editorials on fashion and pleasure, discussing a moonlit promenade and a lavish entertainment scheme in London and Yorkshire.
