Tea has a history of 5,000 years. According to legend, when Shen Nong was drinking boiling water, a few wild leaves fell into the pot and the water immediately gave off a pleasant smell. He took a few sips and felt refreshed. Tea was thus discovered. Since then, tea has become popular in China. Tea plantations spread throughout the country, tea merchants became wealthy, and expensive, elegant tea sets became status symbols. Today, tea is not only a healthy drink, but also an integral part of Chinese culture. More and more international tourists are learning about Chinese culture while tasting tea.
