- Empire of Tea is a 100,000 word co-authored monograph on the cultural history of tea in Britain, from 1650-1850. The monograph was completed over four years, following the team?s 4-volume scholarly-editing project, Tea and the Tea-Table in Eighteenth-Century England (Routledge, 2010). The research sought primary archival evidence for the history of tea in Britain to disrupt the received and highly-mediated narrative promulgated by the tea industry. Research was undertaken in the British Library, India Office Library, Natural History Museum, and Linnaean Society in London, and The Huntington Library, San Marino CA, and the Bransten Tea Collection at UC Berkeley.
