The legend
About 3,000 years ago, Emperor Shen-Nung, while on a journey, had stopped for a rest and lay under a large tree. A fire had been lit and there was a cauldron full of water simmering on the fire. The heat of the fire dried some leaves on a particularly long branch when a gust of wind dislodged these leaves and some went into the boiling water. The water took on the color of gold and a delicious fragrance pervaded the air. The emperor tasted the drink and was enthusiastic about both the taste and aroma. Thus tea was born.
