具体描述
A dramatic historical narrative of the man who stole the secret of tea from China
In 1848, the British East India Company, having lost its monopoly on the tea trade, engaged Robert Fortune, a Scottish gardener, botanist, and plant hunter, to make a clandestine trip into the interior of China-territory forbidden to foreigners-to steal the closely guarded secrets of tea horticulture and manufacturing. For All the Tea in China is the remarkable account of Fortune's journeys into China-a thrilling narrative that combines history, geography, botany, natural science, and old-fashioned adventure.
Disguised in Mandarin robes, Fortune ventured deep into the country, confronting pirates, hostile climate, and his own untrustworthy men as he made his way to the epicenter of tea production, the remote Wu Yi Shan hills. One of the most daring acts of corporate espionage in history, Fortune's pursuit of China's ancient secret makes for a classic nineteenth-century adventure tale, one in which the fate of empires hinges on the feats of one extraordinary man.

读后感
上班搭了同事很久的车，自然远离了地铁图书馆，所以节约上班时间的同时，少了很多读书时间。但愿家门口的地铁早日开通吧。 这本书整体感觉很一般。不过越是这种观点不算鲜明的原汁原味作品，更容易仁者见仁。比如有人或许会惋惜茶叶的外流让中国失去了赚回白银的机会，有人觉得...
评分三星给书，多加一星因为茶。 此书大概就讲清楚了一个问题，那就是维多利亚时期之后，英国人更喜欢红茶胜过绿茶的基本原因，还有流行于世界的斯里兰卡，大吉岭，阿萨姆红茶的来源，都是来自从中国盗取的茶叶树和种子。 本书想要刻画福钧这一因为英国殖民扩张产生的一代植物学家...
评分本来是怀着极大的兴趣买本书来阅读的，但是看过之后不免失望。 失望的原因主要来自作者的视角，一种并不带有这个时代（作者的时代）该有的关怀去描述当时福均在中国的所见所闻。虽然事情发生在150多年前，当时人们的视角肯定和现在人不一样，但是作者也并没有采用客观的历史角...

哈哈哈哈，笑死了，这本书太短了，短到每次上课，教授上课都聊到一半就没话题聊了，硬要我们撑到最后，尴尬地让我们看各种各样的视频
评分humm, the idiomatic title makes me wondering if the author has written this book for money. if so, she might be another compassionate oversea 50 cent practitioner. anyway, good for her. [July 15, Washington Dulles International Airport, 2010]
