The story of tea began in China more than 4,000 years ago. According to an old story, Emperor Shennong discovered tea by accident. One day, while he was boiling water over a fire, some leaves from a tea plant fell into the water. He decided to taste the water. To his surprise, it was delicious. That was how tea was first discovered.
In China, tea is not just a drink. It is an important part of Chinese culture. There are different kinds of tea, such as green tea, black tea, and oolong tea. People often serve tea when guests visit their homes. The Chinese tea ceremony is a traditional way to make and drink tea. It shows respect and friendship.
Tea also spread to(传播) other countries from China. It went to Japan in the 6th century and then to Europe in the 17th century. Different countries have their own ways of drinking tea. In England, people like to add milk and sugar to their tea. They usually have afternoon tea with sandwiches and cakes. In Japan, the tea ceremony is very important and has strict rules.
Today, tea is grown in many parts of the world, including China, India, Kenya, and Sri Lanka. It not only tastes good but also has many health benefits(益处). Some studies show that drinking tea can help keep our bodies healthy, like making us feel more relaxed and helping with digestion (消化).
