Tea, Tied to National Fortune
Tea was China's largest export commodity in the 19th century.
Tea originated in China.
In the 19th century, Chinese tea spread almost globally, and the word for tea in Western languages is derived from the pronunciation in Fujianese and Cantonese dialects.
From the 17th to the 19th centuries, tea had intricate connections with the fates of China, Britain, the United States, and India.
Tea was a highly sought-after commodity, leading to wars such as the Sino-British War and the American War of Independence…
At that time, Britain and the United States became wealthy due to tea, while late Qing China declined because of it, significantly impacting the global economic landscape.
