The info you need

Green tea is the most popular tea in China, the birthplace of this beverage which is now loved the world over. The tea’s origins date back to around 3,000 years ago. And while there are countless legends surrounding it, they all have one similarity: the mythical Emperor Shennong, considered to be the inventor of traditional Chinese medicine. Shennong was a highly skilled botanist with a passion for plants. He followed a strict, healthy lifestyle and asked his subjects to always boil water before drinking it. One day, while he was napping, the wind blew a leaf from a nearby bush into his bowl. When he awoke, he was intrigued by the color of the hot water and studied the plant to discover all the benefits of tea leaves. Tea was initially used as a medicinal treatment before becoming a luxury product and then an everyday drink.
