Tea


Tea is kind of hot drink. It is made from leaves of a small bush. name comes from a Chinese word 'thai'.

There is story about the first cup of tea. In about 2,700 BCE, the ruler of China felt tired. He sat down under tree. He boiled water to drink. Some leaves fell from tree into the pot. He drank water. Suddenly, he didn't feel tired anymore.

It was 3,000 years before the drink became popular in China. In 800 CE the Chinese took some bushes to Japan. Tea arrived in Europe at the beginning of 18th century. In the 1820s, people found tea bushes in Burma (now Myanmar) and India. The British took bushes to Sri Lanka.

Now there are tea bushes in countries in Asia, Africa and South America.
