Tracing the trans-Pacific tea trade from the eighteenth century onward, Green with Milk and Sugar shows how the interconnections between Japan and the United States have influenced the daily habits of people in both countries. Robert Hellyer explores the forgotten American penchant for Japanese green tea and how it shaped Japanese tastes.
