description: Drawing on archival research in the Netherlands and Britain, Liu finds that of all the Chinese goods traded by the Company, tea was by far the most important, and eventually became the cornerstone of its China trade. He focuses on the quarter century of the most robust trade to explore such aspects as the Company's China Committee and its management of the direct China trade, the purchase of teas in Canton, the Dutch-Chinese-European triangle in China, the sale of the teas in Europe, and the golden age of the tea trade and its conclusion. The study may be his 2006 doctoral dissertation in history at Leiden University. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
