How Tea Came About Legend has it that a Chinese emperor was the first to discover Tea when some leaves were blown by chance into a bowl containing boiling hot water. The tea we drink today is exactly the same and the brewing process has never been interfered with. “According to another legend, tea was discovered by a poor woodcutter who was chopping trees in the hills when he saw several monkeys plucking leaves off a tree and chewing them. He tasted some of the leaves, liked it and brought some back to the village. He told others of his discovery and soon, everyone was adding leaves from the tree to their drinks.”
