Origin and Legend of tea.

It is a millenarian drink and its origin is Chinese.
Legend has it that the Chinese Emperor Seng-Tun discovered the drink of tea in a casual way.
During a walk through the forest of the Emperor decided to rest in the shade of a tree while drinking a bowl of water boiling. It was autumn and some dry leaves of the tree fell into the bowl.
The Emperor tested the liquid that had changed colour, a brown colour with a pleasant odor.
So was born the first infusion of tea in the world.
