Legend goes that in 2737 BC the Chinese Emperor, Shen Nung who was an excellent ruler and always delighted in setting his subjects good examples. One of these was that he always boiled his drinking water. One day a few leaves from the branches which were burning under the pot of boiling water fell into it, giving it a delightful scent and flavor and making the water a drink indeed fit for an emperor. The branches were those of the wild tea plant, an evergreen plant of the Camellia family.

China is the origin of tea. It was in the South-West part of China that Chinese tea was first found. The oldest legend of the first brew dates back 5,000 years.

In China by Buddhist monks who observed, by chance, its refreshing qualities and it was transported to India and Ceylon.
