About this book
The story
A cup of tea can carry a whole history of nations. Dan Du follows American trade with China from 1784, in the years after the Revolution, through to 1911, tracing how tea moved between the two countries and what it set in motion. Her themes are credit, taste and power, and she places the story firmly in a global setting.
The result offers new insight into how relations between the United States and China first took shape. It will suit readers drawn to economic history and anyone curious about how everyday goods remake the world.
