The Story of Tea


Tea has been enjoyed for nearly five thousand years. Its origin is in China.

The first book on tea was written by Lu Yu in 780AD.

Green, Black and Oolong Tea were first known in the time of the Ming Dynasty around the 14th Century.

When the British arrived in India, tea became a daily part of their lives. The first Darjeeling tea planted was around 1841, with commercial production beginning in 1852.

Indian and Kenyan Tea are today dominant forces in the global tea market.

Tea continues to be the favoured beverage of many nations.

Tea tempers the spirit, harmonizes the mind, dispels lassitude, relieves fatigue, awakens thought, prevents drowsiness and refreshes the body and mind".
