英国从中国偷走茶叶种植技术
||
Until 1850, all the tea in the world came from one place: #China.
Then, after the Opium War, the British sent their best botanist, Robert Fortune, to China to spy and steal.
He stole the seeds of the best tea varieties and sold them to East India Company, which started tea plantations in India.
Within a couple of decades, India had surpassed China as a tea grower.
