The most written story of the origin of tea is the story of Emperor Shen Nung who lived circa 2737 BC. The emperor is famous not only as an emperor, but also as the Divine Healer.
The story says that tea discovery by the emperor was incidental when the first leaf of a tea plant in his garden fell into a hot water being boiled by him. When the leaf was brewed in the hot water, a pleasing aroma was immediately emanated, enticing the emperor to drink it. Not only the aroma was pleasing, the astringent and bitter flavor created by the tea leaf was also likened by the emperor because it was believed to make body refreshed. According to his research, tea drinking could cure some diseases.
Since then, the Emperor Shen Nung frequented tea drinking, and tea became very popular all over China.
