Tea is the most popular beverage worldwide. The discovery of tea was done in 2700bc by a Chinese emperor, also a scientist, Shen Nung. In the Japanese and indian legend tea was supposedly discovered by a Buddhist missionary monk Daruma. Shen Nung had discovered tea when some leaves from the garden fell into his pot of boiling water resulting in a refreshing drink where as it is believed Daruma on being disappointed of himself for not being able to complete his nine year meditation had cut off his eyelids and thrown it on the ground from which originated the tea plant. It was the monkeys who were first trained to pick tea leaves.

Tea slowly gained popularity among the French and the Dutch, but due to its high cost remained a drink for the wealthy. With the passage of time and the increasing popularity different processes of brewing, drinking and preparing tea was evolved. Marquise de seven was the first to have mentioned the addition of milk to tea giving the drink a new dimension.

Tea was first taken to Europe by the Dutch in the 1600bc. The first European to write about tea was father Jasper De Cruz, in the year 1560, who tasted the drink at a missionary.

Tea was originally grown in china and exported to Europe and other parts of the world. Due to the steep rise in demand and also to keep a check on the balance of trade the Europeans started looking for other places where tea could be grown.

The history of tea also enhances our general knowledge.

Customers went and came by, centuries and years passed by, only to take to new heights the refreshing drink called Tea.
