I drink a lot of tea and I love learning about the history of everyday objects and consumer goods. This book provides a great overview of the ways in which growing, trading, processing, and fighting over tea shaped the history of the British Empire and much of the rest of the world.<\/p>\n

Rappaport weaves together an integrated world history with perspectives from a wide range of people: British and European colonizers, those living in tea-growing areas of the world (both directly under colonial rule and those who were not), traders, industrialists, growers, marketers, and consumers.
