This week I'm reading 'The Empire of Tea' by Alan MacFarlane

This is a nonfiction history looking at the rise of tea in human society and mainly how it shaped and was shaped by the British Empire with a particular focus on the efforts to develop tea production in the Assam region of India.
It's okay so far, a little unfocused at times, and I'm hoping that later on it becomes more critical of imperialism.
