Abstract EN:
China remained the sole purveyor of tea in the world until the 1850's. Based on the living art in china. Tea created a culture in europe. Especially in great britain. The frenzy for tea led the british to push their demands for the opening of the chinese frontiers. They finally created a market for their products in exchange for tea or silk. This resulted in the opening of the country brought about by the opium war, which profoundly influenced the entire traditional economy and society of tea. The chinese had large exports. And its peasants and merchants benefited from these efforts. They finally reached their limits. However, when new producers began to appear on the scene. This resulted in the decline of trade and constituted an important element in the crisis that emerged in the 20th century. This thesis is a study of all these events throughout this period.
