-TEA: Uniquely Asian-

Tea has existed for over 4,000 years and was first cultivated by the Chinese. Legend has that a Chinese Emperor Shen Nung was boiling water and some leaves fell into his pot. He tasted and liked it. That's how tea began. Today, tea is popular all over the world for both its taste and health benefits.

The Europeans were introduced to tea in the 17th century. Tea soon became their favorite drink. Tea is not just for drinking, but is used in gourmet foods and desserts. Studies show that China and India consume more tea than any other countries.
