Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Journey to the Tea Countries of China: Including Sung-Lo and the Bohea Hills; With a Short Notice of the East India Company's Tea Plantations in the Himalaya Mountains It is now about five years since I submitted to the public my 'Three Years' Wanderings in the Northern Provinces of China.' Shortly after the publication of that volume I was deputed by the Honourable the Court of Directors of the East India Company to proceed to China for the purpose of obtaining the finest varieties of the Tea-plant, as well as native manufacturers and implements, for the Government Tea plantations in the Himalayas. On the 20th of June, 1848, I left Southampton, with many other passengers, in the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship 'Ripon,' Captain Moresby, I.N., and landed in Hong-kong on the 14th of August. As I went far inland, and visited many districts almost unknown to Europeans, I now venture to lay an account of my travels and their results before the public.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We have rarely met with any book of travels which so entirely won our confidence." -Athenaum "Lively and picturesque ... his remarks evince shrewdness and good sense." -The Westminster Review "The value and interest of these books are very great." -Quarterly Review Robert Fortune (1812 -1880) was a Scottish botanist, plant hunter and traveller, best known for disguising himself as Chinese royalty, traveling the tea country, and stealing tea plants and tea processing experts from China on behalf of the British East India Company. Fortune wrote of these adventures in his 1852 book "A Journey to the Tea Countries of China." The British had ascertained that the tea plants, introduced into India in 1835, were not of the variety most approved in China. To remedy this, Robert Fortune was deputed by the Court of Directors, in 1848, to visit China, and to obtain there the best varieties of tea, implements of manufacture, and good tea-makers. Fortune was most successful. "As the result of this mission," we use his own words, "nearly 20,000 plants from the best black and green tea countries of Central China have been introduced to the Himalayas. Six first-rate manufacturers, two leadmen, and a large supply of implements from the celebrated Hwuychow districts, were also brought round, and safely located on the Government plantations in the hills." Fortune first went to China in 1843 to collect botanical specimens for the Horticultural Society of London. He returned to this country in 1846, but again revisited the Celestial Empire in 1848, having been commissioned by the East India Directors to procure tea-plants and tea-makers for their plantations in the Himalayas. His instructions fulfilled, he came back to England in 1851, and was once more despatched in 1852 to secure an additional stock of plants and workmen. He remained with this object till 1856, at which period he had spent altogether nearly nine years among the people of China. The importance of tea at this time in history cannot be understated, as Fortune relates: "In these days, when tea has become almost a necessary of life to England and her wide-spreading colonies, its production upon a large and cheap scale is an object of no ordinary importance. ... One scarcely conceive the idea of the Chinese Empire existing, were it deprived of the tea plant." The sphere of Fortune's observation was as varied as it was prolonged. Instead of confining himself to the districts to which foreigners are limited by treaty, he advanced boldly into the interior. In one of his journeys he went habited like the natives, lived with them as one of themselves, and saw them free from every species of restraint. From the outset of his journey he wore, to the horror of the mandarins, the red girdle and yellow hat which are the attributes of royalty, and in which no subject is permitted to appear under pain of perpetual exile. Dressed as an emperor, he assumed imperial authority. A solitary and obnoxious foreigner, he bearded officials of towns and provinces; and everywhere these jealous and conceited functionaries changed their nature in his presence, and in the heart of their own country tremblingly obeyed the lordly commands of the majestic M. Hue. Fortune dwells upon the importance of preserving good humour when surrounded by Chinese. Laugh and joke with them, he says, and all will go well, but once lose your temper, and you will probably be hooted and pelted with stones. A stranger, who has little tact, geniality, and forbearance, is not unlikely to be irritated when a pestering mob call him a 'Pak Quei-tze,' or White Devil, which is the general name in China for a foreigner; and the man who has been pelted with stones brings away very different notions of the people from one who has drawn forth mirth and smiles.
