Abstract

The history of tea began in the Pre-Classical period before 618 AD. Myth says that an emperor in ancient China named Shen Nung was the first individual to drink tea (The history of tea 1). Shen Nung was an herbalist and scientist that required his drinking water to be boiled. This hygienic precaution was implemented by the emperor's servants by customary routine on one of the emperor's travels (The history of tea 1). While the water was being boiled dried leaves from a nearby bush fell and produced a brown liquid. The inquisitive scientist-Emperor was curious and decided to taste the drink. He found it to be enjoyable, aromatic and refreshing and thus tea was created. Other myths say that the emporer picked up a tea leaf that had fallen on him, and after tasting its bitterness assumed that it would have medicinal capabilities and brewed it (The Art of Chinese tea 1).
