图书描述

Robert Fortune was a Scottish gardener, botanist, plant hunter - and industrial spy. In 1848, the East India Company engaged him to make a clandestine trip into the interior of China - territory forbidden to foreigners - to steal the closely guarded secrets of tea. For centuries, China had been the world's sole tea manufacturer. Britain purchased this fuel for its Empire by trading opium to the Chinese - a poisonous relationship Britain fought two destructive wars to sustain. The East India Company had profited lavishly as the middleman, but it was now sinking, having lost its monopoly to trade tea. Its salvation, it thought, was to establish its own plantations in the Himalayas of British India. There were just two problems: India had no tea plants worth growing, and the company wouldn't have known what to do with them if it had. Hence Robert Fortune's daring trip.The Chinese interior was off-limits and virtually unknown to the West, but that's where the finest tea was grown - the richest oolongs, soochongs and pekoes. And the Emperor aimed to keep it that way. In a Mandarin's dress, with a black braid sewn into his hair, Robert Fortune ventured deep inside the country, risking his life for science, adventure, and a place among the great plant explorers. From Kew Gardens to grimy Old Shanghai, and on to the remote Wu Yi Shan hills, Sarah Rose tells a true tale of pirates, rebels, subterfuge, espionage, and how one man triumphed over an exotic and corrupt Empire.

茶叶原产地那个时代的风土人情,生活方式,穿衣打扮最为吸引人,福琼的每一段旅程都充满着惊险与意外,故事情节还是很有可读性的。感叹呀,茶叶的世界之旅原来是从闭塞的武夷山松萝山开始的

1852年,恩菲尔德•洛克皇家轻兵器厂 如果书中没有这个章节,或许我就只能给个3星了,虽然有多个译名:茶叶大盗、植物獵人的茶盜之旅。 但我还是喜欢从另外一个角度去看问题。 话说看完这本书的时候刚刚是2015年11月11日12点吧,刚刚结束的天猫双11,以912亿结束。为什么特意...
