It all began in 2737 BC in China. According to legend,
when Emperor Shen Nung was boiling water in the shelter of a
tree to drink, a light breeze stirred the branches and few
leaves. They mixed with water and gave it a color and a
delicate fragrance. The emperor tasted it, and takes delight
again. The tree was a wild tea tree: tea was born.
In India, another legend, this time, recounts that Prince
Dharma, the third son of King Kosjuwo, was touched by grace
and decided to leave his country to preach in China the
precepts of Buddha.
To make it more worthy of such a mission, he vowed not to
sleep during the nine years of his journey. Towards the end
of the third year, however, he was seized with drowsiness
and would fall asleep when, by chance, picking some leaves
from a wild tea tree, he bit mechanically. The invigorating
tea made immediately effect: Dharma is exhilarating and drew
on the strength of these sheets stay awake for the last six
years of his apostolate.
In Japan, the story is somewhat different: at the end of
three years, Bodhi-Dharma, exhausted, fell asleep during his
devotions. When he woke up, furious at his weakness and
overwhelmed by his fault, he cut off his eyelids and threw
them down. A few years later, passing the same spot, he
found that they had given birth to a bush that he had never
seen before. He tasted the leaves and found that they had
property to keep his eyes open. He spoke about him and it
became the custom to cultivate tea in places where it was
before.
Whatever the legend, it seems that the shrubs are from
China, probably in the region on the border of Burma, North
Vietnam and Yunnan, and the habit of consuming this drink
will be of first developed among the Chinese..
