Alluring Tea

Chinese Emperor, Shen Nong, had a habit of boiling his drinking water. One day, the wind blew a few leaves from a nearby tree into his boiling water which then turned light brown with a rich, alluring aroma.

Tea then reached England when King Charles II married, Cathering of Braganza, a Portuguese princess.

Whatever the story behind the humble leaves, every one knows only too well the craving for a strong cup of tea.

Tea plants were later discovered in the hills along the frontier of Burma and the Indian state of Assam. In 1867, the British introduced tea in Ceylon and today, Ceylon Tea is known as one of the best in the world.
