For all the tea in China
Clark Bjorke's review of
How England Stole the World's Favorite Drink and Changed History by Sarah Rose. Of course this pointing to this review is really for my AmCon students, just in case they might be feeling that they haven't been hearing enough about tea this semester.
"For All the Tea in China reads like a novel. It is fast paced and has a series of plot twists. It is filled with interesting characters which Rose has filled out, imaginatively. I am sure that the original source materials she had to work with, letters to and from the East India Company, invoices and shipping records, were a bit more dry."
