The battle for popular tea Private trade on VOC ships EIC abandoned green tea strategy EIC adopted a combination of direct trade and VOC strategy The Chinese Junk trade to Batavia declined VOC intensified its trade with China

The battle for popular tea EIC abandons green tea strategy (1747) The taxation on tea causes the EIC to innovate later in the tea trade But why then?

The battle for popular tea EIC Tea trade falls behind

The battle for popular tea Smuggling Difference in sales price leads to smuggling into England of tea brought by all other companies Smuggling mostly entails bohea tea sales of EIC fall to such extend that tax is taken off

The battle for popular tea Tea on licence: Tea brought in from Dutch Republic Tea connected to all the different companies

The battle for popular tea Private trade on VOC ships Before 1741: not quantifiable, but traceable After 1741: quantifiable, linked to Chinese Junk trade, Bohea tea

The battle for popular tea Graph K: Import of tea, VOC official trade and VOC on recognition, lbs ( )

The battle for popular tea

EIC changes its strategy: Invested more silver Continued old direct trade with two ships And adopted strategy of the VOC, pepper for tea

The battle for popular tea VOC changed its strategy: Invested more silver for pepper More VOC trade with China (the China committee)

The battle for popular tea The Chinese junk trade and private trade to the Republic declines as Chinese do not need to get in Batavia anymore

The battle for popular tea The EIC takes a bite out of the competition and forces the VOC to increase its own tea exports to the Republic

Conclusion
