TEA
Next to water, tea is the most af fordable drink in the world. That doesn’t mean it isn’t precious.
In fact, tea is a cultural drink for which there have been many, many rituals throughout time. Accor-
ding to Chinese mythology, the first cup of tea was accidentally made in 2737 BC. The Chinese
Emperor, Shen Nung, scholar and herbalist, was quietly sitting beneath a tree while his ser vant duti-
fully boiled the drinking water. A leaf from the tree above dropped into the water, and when the water
was fully boiled, Shen Nung decided to tr y the new leafy drink. He loved it. The tree was a wild tea
tree, and the rest is histor y.
