La historia del té más rigurosa y amena que se ha publicado jamás, escrita con gran vitalidad para cautivar a un público muy amplio.
A lo largo de los siglos, el té ha servido de inspiración a artistas, ha enriquecido experiencias religiosas, ha desempeñado un papel fundamental en el surgimiento del comercio mundial e, incluso, ha desencadenado grandes guerras. Ninguna otra bebida ha influido en la vida de tantas personas de formas tan diversas.
The True History of Tea reúne todos estos hilos dispares en un relato erudito, repleto de datos curiosos y senderos inesperados. Victor H. Mair transporta al lector desde las selvas del sudeste asiático hasta el esplendor de las dinastías Tang y Song en China; desde la estética de la ceremonia del té en el Japón medieval hasta el legendario comercio de té y caballos en Asia Central; y desde el inicio del idilio británico con el té hasta la famosa «fiesta del té» que dio pie a la Revolución estadounidense. La obra celebra el legado compartido de una bebida que todos hemos llegado a apreciar, y contribuye de manera decisiva a desmantelar aquel viejo y obsoleto axioma: «Oriente es Oriente, y Occidente es Occidente, y nunca se encontrarán».
