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.

评分哈哈哈哈,笑死瞭,這本書太短瞭,短到每次上課,教授上課都聊到一半就沒話題聊瞭,硬要我們撐到最後,尷尬地讓我們看各種各樣的視頻
评分寫得跟曆史課本似的
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]
评分非常好讀,很有意思,一點都不枯燥,對茶葉文化,那個時期的國際環境和中國的風土人情都有介紹。就好像是跟著Robert Fortune一起遊歷瞭一番
