Delightfully rich in eye-opening revelations, Green with Milk and Sugar spotlights aspects of the modern history of tea found in no other books on this global drink. It offers a fine example of how the study of the forgotten past can alter our perception of present tastes and places., Hellyer's thoroughly researched account of the tea trade is as engaging a commodity history as you will find, and one that provides plenty of opportunity to rethink and connect American and Japanese history., Beautifully researched and written, Green with Milk and Sugar demonstrates how important Japan has been to developing U.S. tastes and trade and global capitalism. Hellyer reveals a tremendous amount about consumption and trade in Japan and how Pacific influences can be found throughout the American continent. This book will appeal to tea lovers, historians, food scholars, and members of the tea trade., A lively history of tea and its significance in Japanese and American culture. By juxtaposing the stories of those involved in the production, marketing, and consumption of tea, Hellyer makes a clear case that the fortunes of many in Japan rested on the popularity of green tea in the American Midwest, offering a compelling reminder of the global effects of commodification and consumption., Beautifully researched and written, Green with Milk and Sugar demonstrates how important Japan has been to developing U.S. tastes and trade and global capitalism. Hellyer reveals a tremendous amount about consumption and trade in Japan and how Pacific influences can be found throughout the American continent. Green with Milk and Sugar will appeal to tea lovers, historians, food scholars and members of the tea trade., An excellent and meticulously researched study of interest to anyone immersed in tea culture and/or trans-Pacific history, Robert Hellyer's book is a gem--an intriguing story that connects the United States and Japan through 'teaways.' It offers a fascinating entangled, trans-Pacific history of the production and consumption of Japanese green tea through the lens of intergenerational family stories, spanning over one hundred years., [A] heady brew of the intertwined history of green tea in Japan, the United States and [Hellyer's] own family . . . there is much to savor in this heavily researched study., A valuable entry in the growing body of work exploring the ways our food choices are related to social trends, scientific and industrial developments, and political concerns, as well as international relations . . . It will be useful to scholars of food history and both Japanese and American studies, and it is very accessible to nonspecialists., Who would have guessed that the American heartland had a penchant for green tea (served with milk and sugar) before World War II and that U.S. tea drinkers contributed to the ubiquity of sencha in modern Japan? This engagingly written, delightfully illustrated, and stimulating book brings a lost world of 'teaways' to light., Robert Hellyer is meticulous in describing the relevant history of both the US and Japan of these periods, and most history buffs would enjoy his exploration of the period, through the lens of tea., Hellyer skillfully interweaves the history of two countries by focusing on a product that is iconic of one and has a forgotten past in the other. . .The result is a commercial, social, and personal account of the complex ways that Americans and Japanese have long influenced one another's everyday lives., In Green with Milk and Sugar , Hellyer tells a remarkable story, one that has not been explored in any detail elsewhere, which fundamentally alters what we know of both modern American and modern Japanese history., Master storyteller Robert Hellyer draws readers into Green with Milk and Sugar . . . The book serves as a model for those seeking to write a good history of Japan, or any region . . . An outstanding contribution in many fields., An unquenchable curiosity--abetted by the author's familial ties--drives this extraordinary story of the Japan-to-America tea trade. Equal parts business and cultural history, with a spoonful of diplomatic history mixed in, Green with Milk and Sugar reveals many surprising as well as previously unexplored effects of international commerce at both ends of the commodity chain. Altogether, a model transnational study.
