摘要:
"This impressively detailed book offers a rich cultural history of tea, from its ancient origins in China to its adoption around the world. From the everyday use of tea in social settings to the political and economic controversies it has stirred, such as the Boston Tea Party and the First Opium War, Empire of tea offers a multilayered look at what was ultimately an imperial industry"-- Page 4 of cover.
