Tea's Wonderful History
"Tea is among the world's oldest and most revered beverages. It is today's
most popular beverage in the world, next to water. Tea drinking has long
been an important aspect of Chinese culture. A Chinese saying identifies the
seven basic daily necessities as fuel, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar,
and tea. According to Chinese legend, tea was invented accidentally by the
Chinese Emperor Shen Nong in 2737 B.C. Emperor Shen Nong was a scholar and
herbalist, as well as a creative scientist and patron of the arts. Among
other things, the emperor believed that drinking boiled water contributed to
good health. By his decree, his subjects and servants had to boil their
water before drinking it as a hygiene precaution. On one summer day while he
was visiting a distant region, he and his entourage stopped to rest. The
servants began to boil water for the skilled ruler and his subjects to
drink. Dried leaves from a nearby camellia bush fell into the boiling water.
The emperor was interested in the new liquid because it had a pleasing aroma
in this new brew interested the emperor, so he drank the infusion and
discovered that it was very refreshing and had a delightful flavor. He
declared that tea gives vigor to the body, thus. That was when tea was
invented, but it was considered as a medicinal beverage. It was around 300
A.D. when, tea became a daily drink. "
