If ever there was a book to read in the company of a nice cuppa, this is it.' The Washington PostIn the dramatic story of one of the greatest acts of corporate espionage ever committed, Sarah Rose recounts the fascinating, unlikely circumstances surrounding a turning point in economic history. By the middle of the nineteenth century, the British East India Company faced the loss of its monopoly on the fantastically lucrative tea trade with China, forcing it to make the drastic decision of sending Scottish botanist Robert Fortune to steal the crop from deep within China and bring it back to British plantations in India. Fortune's dangerfilled odyssey, magnificently recounted here, reads like adventure fiction, revealing a longforgotten chapter of the past and the wondrous origins of a seemingly ordinary beverage.
