having Tea long before anyone started having. According to one of the
Chinese myth, Tea was founded by the father of Chinese agriculture an
emperor named Shen Nong. The Myth goes by, in the year 2737 B.C., once

consumed or brewed and drank for pleasure. During Shang Dynasty (1500
B.C.-1046 B.C.) in Yunnan Province Tea was likely to drink as a medicinal
drink. From there it spread to Sichuan Province and it is belied that from
