Tea is an important part of Chinese tradition. Tea has very close relationship to Chinese culture.
It's said that Chinese tea was discovered by King Shen Nong. People say that he lived 5,000 years ago. One summer day, while he was visiting a faraway part of his country, he felt very thirsty. When the servants were boiling the water for him to drink, the dried leaves from a near plant fell into the water. The King drank some, and found it could make him feel less tired, which made Shen Nong interested in the new drink. And so, tea was created in 2737BC．
Drinking tea has many advantages. It makes people feel less tired, clears heat inside the human body and helps people lose weight. As you add a cup of tea to your daily life, please check the following advice.
(1)Drink it hot. Tea oxides(氧化)quickly, so it is suggested that you drink it hot.
