How Tea Came to Be

The brewing and drinking of tea is believed to have originated from Chinese culture. One story tells how tea was discovered accidentally by a Chinese emperor in 2737 B. C. The emperor did not want to get sick, so he always insisted on boiling his drinking water to be assured of its purity. One day, some tea leaves from his garden accidentally fell into his hot water. The emperor noticed the pleasant aroma. He tasted the new beverage and found it delicious and refreshing.
The habit and custom of drinking tea eventually spread all over the world. Dutch and Portuguese sailors brought tea to Europe in the seventeenth century. At the time, tea was very expensive. Only the rich could afford it. In Britain and Holland, tea was sold at auctions where it was popular among aristocrats. In Europe, drinking tea became symbolic of the upper class.
At the beginning of the eighteenth century, the popularity of tea began to reach further than just the wealthy. Prices came down and tea became a commodity available to all segments of the population. The buying and selling of tea between the East and the West turned into a booming industry. Companies specializing in tea were formed and grew into powerful businesses that brought in huge revenues. Because tea brought in so much money and became so powerful, it was even used in political maneuvers. In the mid-1800s, when Britain and China were at war, China set an embargo on the exporting of tea to Britain. This stopped the flow of Chinese tea coming into the Britain and made it more difficult for the British to buy.
Tea today remains an enormous industry worldwide. What seemed like a trivial event in the emperor's garden centuries ago has now become a global multibillion-dollar business. Over 2.5 million tons of tea are grown and produced around the world each year.
