Tea-Time

The year is 2737 B.C. Shen Nung, emperor of China, is boiling water to drink. (Boiling is the oldest known method of water purification.) And then...a happy accident. Into the kettle fall a few leaves of Camellia sinensis. Shen Nung drinks, and finds that the leaf-infused liquid imparts "vigor of body, contentment of mind, and determination of purpose." Tea time is born!
