In den WarenkorbZustand: FINE. Advance Reading Copy (ARC, trade paperback format. ) A book by a tea planter's wife, who lived on a tea estate in Assam, India for 20 years and her son, an anthropologist, one which "delves into the history of the leaf that over thousands of years became 'the world's favorite drink,' emphasizing the links between…tea and political, cultural, social and economic events in China, Japan, India and England, where the British obsession with that 'nice cup of tea' fueled the rapid growth of the British Empire. They also expound on the health benefits of tea, listing its many medicinal properties and contending that when tea was first introduced into China, Japan and England, it led to a decline in mortality rates because boiling the water to make it kills harmful bacteria. The story comes full circle in the final chapters, which concentrate on the hardships of the 'coolies' who labored to harvest and process tea under the control of their rapacious British overlords. (Publishers Weekly) Illustrated, notes, bibliography, index. xi, 308 pp Fine in illustrated wrappers.
