The Legend of Tea

Over 5000 years ago in approximately 2500 B.C. On a beautiful afternoon The Chinese Emperor, Shen Nung sat in his palace garden sipping a cup of hot water as was his custom. Suddenly a sharp gust of wind appeared and blew some bright green leaves from a lovely tree close by. Those leaves floated down and landed in the emperors cup of hot water. As the Emperor brought the cup to his lips, he noticed a pleasant fragrance and took a sip of the hot water. He was delighted with the delicate fragrance and called his servants to gather more of the bright green leaves so he could continue drinking this delectable liquid from that time on.  As legend has it,this was the birth of tea. Time continued and Tea became the favored drink of emperors and commoners alike.
