From Darjeeling to Lapsang Souchon, from India to Japan-a fresh, concise, world-encompassing exploration of the way tea has shaped politics, culture, and the environment throughout history.
From the fourth century BC in China, where it was used as an aid in Buddhist meditation, to the Boston Tea Party in 1773, to its present-day role as the most consumed substance on the planet, the humble Camellia plant has had profound effects on civilization.
Renowned cultural anthropologist Alan MacFarlane and Iris MacFarlane recount the history of tea from its origin in the eastern Himalayas and explains, among other things, how tea became the world’s most prevalent addiction, how tea was used as an instrument of imperial control, and how the cultivation of tea drove the industrial revolution. Both an absorbing narrative and a fascinating tour of some of the world’s great cultures-Japan, China, India, France, the Britain, and others-The Empire of Tea brings into sharp focus one of the forces that shaped history.

Uncanny. I was looking for this last night, and voila! Here it is. Many thanks! Did watch “Tea War” about the work of Robert Fortune. Very well made. Cheers!

Redcoats in the village and there’s fighting in the streets
Indians and the Mountain Men are talking when they meet
The king has said he’s going to put a tax on tea
And that’s the reason y’all Americans drink coffee
Fire in the mountains, flames upon the heath
As the President spits out the news, he’s biting them wooden teeth
Them children of the Colonies got a different tale to tell
I’m going down to the city, tell my folks I’m doing well
Bringing back the buffalo to the long prairie
Bringing back the fishes swimming in the sea
The children of them colonies got a different tale to tell
Going down to the city, tell my folks I’m doing well

I need a cup of the brown stuff, the shade of an acorn made warm by the same source that I take my cakes from. Using a teapot, a mug or fine china
Been hooked up to IVs, need constant supplies
