  • Summary

  • Tea's story begins in ancient China, where it is said to have been discovered around 2737 BCE by Emperor Shen Nong, a legendary figure known as the "Divine Farmer." According to the myth, the emperor was boiling water when leaves from a wild tea tree fell into his pot, creating the first cup of tea. Shen Nong was impressed by its refreshing qualities and its supposed health benefits, marking the beginning of tea’s revered status in China and, soon, around the world.
