TEA - Addiction, Exploitation and Empire

TEA - Addiction, Exploitation and Empire tells the story of how the British Empire's thirst for tea changed the world, with devastating repercussions. Moxham's provocative book reveals another side to the history of tea - from its discovery by the Chinese, to the first British imports in the seventeenth century, into the present day.

The book also describes how tea is grown and manufactured. It dissects the international tea business. It also describes the first year of the author's time as a tea planter - taking the reader through the agricultural cycle - with some amusing diversions.

"Both scholarly and funny, a rare combination. I enjoyed it hugely." - Eric Newby
