Putting the Tea in Britain

The story of tea is extraordinary - it caused wars, boosted the trade in slaves and hard drugs, and it's no exaggeration to say it was one of the great engines that drove the globalisation of the world economy. In this book award-winning author Les Wilson tells the dramatic and colourful story of how Scots brought tea to Britain and made it our national drink.

Povestea ceaiului este extraordinara - a provocat razboaie, a stimulat comertul cu sclavi si droguri grele si nu este exagerat sa spunem ca a fost unul dintre marile motoare care au condus globalizarea economiei mondiale. In aceasta carte, autorul premiat Les Wilson spune povestea dramatica si plina de culoare a modului in care scotienii au adus ceaiul in Marea Britanie si au facut din acesta bautura noastra nationala.
