Green Gold by Alan Macfarlane, Iris Macfarlane
Apart from water, tea is more widely consumed than any other food or drink. Yet only 2000 years ago it was only know to a handful of monks in China and some tribal peoples in south east Asia. How and why has tea conquered the world? Tea was the first global product. It raised nations and shattered empires. It altered life-styles, religions, etiquette and aesthetics. Diseases were thwarted by the magical drink and cities founded on it. The industrial revolution was fuelled by tea. A remarkable detective story of how an East Himalayan camellia bush became the world's favourite drink. Relive the stories of the men and women whose lives were transformed out of all recognition through contact with the deceptively innocuous green leaf.
