Read the excerpt from "Early Victorian Tea Set." But a loving, tranquil cup of tea has a violent hinterland. When all tea came into Europe from China, the British East India Company traded opium for silver and used that silver to buy tea. The trade was so important that it brought the two countries to war. The first of the conflicts, which we still refer to as the Opium Wars – they were in fact just as much about tea – broke out more or less as our teapot was leaving the Wedgwood factory. Partly because of these difficulties with China, in the 1830s the British set up plantations in the area around Calcutta and Indian tea was exempted from import duty to encourage demand. What is the author's viewpoint in this excerpt? England's demand for tea encouraged international cooperation. England's demand for tea caused conflict around the world. Britain planted tea in China because Britain was at war with India. Britain traded silver to buy tea, which resulted in high taxes.
