1) The origins of drinking tea can be traced back to the times of the mythical Chinese emperor Shen Nung, who lived about 2737 BC. According to a Chinese legend tea was discovered when the emperor’s servant put a boiling pot of water under a tea bush and some tea leaves fell into it.

2) The oldest of all teas is green tea - a very healthy variety of tea. But unlike black tea, it does not undergo the process of full fermentation and in the final stage its leaves usually keep their different shapes and forms.
