Description:
East India Company orders tea, 100 lbs of it, for the first time. (tea.co.uk) Tea trade by the East India Company, although unable to be directly bought because they didn't have silver to trade with China, was funded essentially by the Company's opium trade. They were able to illegally trade opium for Chinese tea to import to England.Ajouté au bande de temps:
