Goodwin traces the origin of "cha", or tea, from its beginnings in Canton factories through the Opium Wars and the settlement of British India, in this personal journey throught the serpentine history of the tea trade. "An exceptional travel book but also a lively, humorous account of the refreshing herb, from bush to teacup".--The London Observer.
