“Robert Fortune, the Tea Thief” is the incredible story of the Scottish botanist who stole the secret of tea from the Chinese. Right in the middle of the 19th century, the Western world had become passionate about tea. China was its sole producer and trader. For the past five thousand years, it had jealously watched over the trade secret and refused to share it. The British Empire, at its peak, will launch an extraordinary spy operation: steal the secret of tea from Imperial China. This operation will be entrusted to a young and brilliant Scottish botanist: Robert Fortune.
