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.

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...

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

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]
