- Notes:
- A cartogram, a world map showing the size of each country in proportion to its consumption of tea. While China actually consumed twice as much tea as Britain, its position at the edge of the map assured that the focus will be on the British Isles. The text to the right of the map highlights the significance of Indian Darjeeling ("the Holy City of the Tea Industry"), the British Emperor George V, and the royal navy. "Thus may be told the geography and allegiance of Tea, an empire within an empire, whose borders follow everywhere the scattered territories of that nation on which the sun never sets."
