Question

- un passage given below:
The original Chinese tea plant is the same type that's grown around the world today.
But, it was originally consumed very differently. It was eaten as a vegetable or cut
with green porridge. Tea only shifted from food to drink only 1500 years ago when
people realized that a combination of heat and moisture could create a complex and
varied taste out of the leafy green. After hundreds of years of variations to the
preparation method, the standard became to heat tea, pack it into portable cakes,
grind it into powder, mix with hot water and create a beverage called 'Matcha'.
Matcha became so popular that a distinct Chinese tea culture emerged. Tea was the
subject of books and poetry, the favourite drink of emperors and a medium for artists.
They would draw extravagant pictures in the form of the tea, very much like the
espresso art you might see in coffee shops today. At that point, China still held a
virtual monopoly on the world's tea trees making tea one of the three essential
Chinese export goods along with porcelain and silk. This gave China a great deal of
power and economic influence as tea drinking spread around the world.
In the early 17th century, the Dutch traders brought tea to Europe in large quantities. At
that time, Great Britain was in the midst of, expanding its colonial influence and becoming
the new dominant world power, and as Great Britain grew, interest in tea spread around
the world. In the 18th century, tea in Europe became ten times the price of coffee and the
plant still only grown in China. The tea trade was so lucrative that the world's fastest
Sailboat, the Clipper ship was bom out of intense competition between westem trading
companies. All were racing to bring their tea back to Europe first to maximize their
profits.
Eventually, the British East India Company, wanted to grow tea by themselves and
further control the market. They commissioned a botanist, Robert Fortune to steal tea
from China. He disguised himself and took a perilous journey through China's
mountainous tea regions, eventually smuggling tea and experienced tea workers into
Darjeeling in India. From there, the plant spread further still, helping drive tea's growth
as an everyday commodity.
