Legend says that tea was first discovered in China about 5000 years ago and that Chinese Emperor Shen Nung was the first person to drink the brew. The story goes that whilst boiling water to drink, a few tea leaves from a nearby plant blew into his pot. Whether this is true or not, it is certain that all tea originated from China, and this influence has now gone worldwide.
