Tea’s discovery ~
Part folklore, part legend. Perhaps part myth…
In 2737 BC, China was ruled by Emperor Shen Nung. The Emperor was a trained herbalist and knew to boil water to maintain safety and health.
It is said while one day heating his water over a fire, a breeze came up and blew a few leaves from a nearby tree into his cauldron. The leaves quickly started to brew, turning the water a different colour.
Shen Nung decided against retrieving the leaves and watched. After a few minutes he tasted the brew.
??????????????
? The tree was a wild tea tree ?
Almost 5,000 years later… and we still have much to thank him for
