Tea drinking is a culture for people all over the world irrespective of ethnicity. Although with the western influence of alcohol and other carbonated beverages as alternative options, tea is still rated as first rank of preference beverage that is irreplaceable.
The history of tea drinking can be dated back 2737BCE by the Chinese emperor Shennong. It is said that emperor Shennong preferred his drinking water to be boiled so it is clean to consume. One day while emperor Shennong was travelling, his servant begins boiling water for him to drink. A dead leaf from the wild tea bush suddenly fell into the boiling water unnoticed. Emperor Shennong drank it and finds it very refreshing, and so from there on he names it Cha (meaning ‘Tea’). Tea was only introduces to the West about 400 years ago.
