“Tea makes most Moslems kin: The Afghan variety, sometimes flavored with cardamom, is unusually refreshing. The abstemious Mohammedan depends on it or coffee for “adding life to the party” or “putting through a deal. In every wayside inn and urban bazaar, shops offering the beverage are centers of sociability and trade. Trays are delivered to homes, guest houses, or business places.”
—From “Afghanistan Makes Haste Slowly,” December 1933, National Geographic magazine
