Many legends surround the discovery of tea. The oldest known is this Chinese tale: One breezy day in the year 2737 BC, in the shade of his garden, the Emperor Chen-Nung was enjoying a cup of boiled water, the hygienic custom of the day. Carried by the wind, leaves from a neighboring bush fell into his imperial cup. They were leaves from the Camellia Sinensis plant, and the emperor experienced such a feeling of refreshment and well being, that he vowed to take a cup each day. Thus was born the custom of drinking tea.
