Drinking of tea began in ancient China over 5,000 years ago. According to legend, there lived an emperor named Shen Nung, who was an able ruler, a scientist, patron of the arts and now hailed as the father of Chinese medicine. During his life time he is believed to have personally tried over 300 different herbal remedies. He was sure that unclean water made people sick and ordered that all drinking water be boiled as a hygienic precaution.One summer day, while visiting a distant region of his realm, he and his court stopped to rest. In accordance with his ruling, the servants began to boil water for the court to drink. Dried leaves from a nearby bush fell into the boiling water and an exotic new beverage was accidentally infused. As a scientist, the emperor was interested in the new liquid, drank some, and found it very refreshing. And so, according to legend, we saw the birth of tea “the elixir medicine and beverage”.
