1 gen 2737 anni a. C. - Tea

Descrizione:

Tea was invented at some point during the Neolithic era, around 2737 BC. Chinese legends attribute the invention of tea to Shennong, a deity, emperor, and folk hero of Chinese and Vietnamese myth.

The story goes that Shennong liked his drinking water boiled before he drank it so it would be clean, so that is what his servants did. One day, on a trip to a distant region, he and his army stopped to rest. A servant began boiling water for him to drink, and a dead leaf from the wild tea bush fell into the water. It turned a brownish color, but it was unnoticed and presented to Shennong anyway. The emperor drank it and found it very refreshing, and tea came into being.
