1. For All The Tea In China
How England Stole the World's Favorite Drink and Changed History
A gripping history of 19th-century industrial espionage, it follows Scottish botanist Robert Fortune as he infiltrates China after the Opium Wars to acquire tea plants, seeds, and processing expertise for the British East India Company, enabling large-scale cultivation in India. Blending adventure, science, and empire, it reveals how stolen knowledge reshaped global trade and turned a closely guarded craft into a worldwide commodity.
