Tea in our lives

Tea drinking began on a windy day about 4,700 years ago, when the Chinese Emperor Shen Nong commanded his servants to boil a pot of water for him to drink. Very wisely, he always insisted that water should be boiled prior to drinking. Dried leaves from a nearby tea bush were blown into his pot and turned the bubbling liquid a deep shade of brown. Rather than throw the water away and start afresh, as supplies were short, the emperor insisted on tasting the brew and immediately hailed it as a refreshing drink.For nearly five more millennia, we have been drinking tea. The Japanese soon adopted Shen Nong's drink of tea, along with a ceremony in its preparation. Incredibly, it was not until 4,000 years later that tea-drinking reached Europe. Travelling merchants mentioned the properties of the tea bush, but no-one was sure how to use the leaf or how to serve it. In 1560, however, a Portuguese missionary in China sampled a cup of tea, andfour years later Portugal opened up the first official trade route to China. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,<read more>
