THE LEGEND OF TEA
Legend and most sources credit the discovery of tea to a Chinese Emperor Shen Nung (28th Century B.C.). He was a fastidious man and always had his drinking water boiled. He was convinced the boiled water would protect him from the prevalent diseases of the time. While Shen Nung was touring the Provinces he requested his servant to boil some water for him. The servant made a fire using some nearby Camellia bushes. These bushes were very popular in China, and were used as medicinal compound for treating a host of illnesses. While the fire was heating the water a breeze released a few leaves from the Cameliian branches and fell into the pot of boiling water. The Emperor's attention was caught by the aroma, which arose from the pot. Intrigued, he drank some of the concoction and it immediately captivated his taste and thus history was made.

Classic and enduring, black tea is a revered classic throughout the world. Because of the fermentation process, black tea is usually richer in color, more penetrating in flavor, and has a higher concentration of caffeine when compared to other teas. A universal beverage that speaks many languages, black tea has its beginnings from the same plant which produces both green and white tea (camellia sinensis), and its mark of distinction can be found in the deep dark color achieved through the fermenting process. For those who prefer milder flavors, you can add a dash of honey, cream, or soymilk for a truly delightful sipping experience.
