Synopsis
A Journey To The Tea Countries Of China Including Sung-Lo And The Bohea Hills; With A Short Notice Of The East India Company's Tea Plantations In The Himalaya Mountains. By Robert Fortune. With Map And Illustrations. Fortune recounts a 19th-century expedition commissioned by the East India Company to procure the finest tea plants and related knowledge from China for Himalayan plantations. The narrative traces his voyage from Hong-kong to Shanghai, Hang-chow, and into the green-tea and Bohea districts, where he collects seeds, young plants, and agricultural insights. The book blends travelogue with botanical observation, detailing flora such as the Funereal Cypress and palm species, and describing tea cultivation, processing (green vs. black teas), and dyeing practices. It also offers firsthand accounts of travel by river and chair, the Chinese “chop” system for hiring guides and boats, social life along the river routes, temple life, beggars, opium, and Buddhist rituals. Alongside, Fortune discusses tea-trade routes, economic aspects of tea production, and the broaderImplications for English and Indian tea plantations, illustrated by maps and plates.
