  Hey, that’s basically tea’s origin story.

  In Chinese legend, Emperor Shennong was drinking a bowl of just boiled water because of a decree that his subjects must boil water before drinking it.[12] Some time around 2737 BC, a few leaves were blown from a nearby tree into his water, changing the color and taste. The emperor took a sip of the brew and was pleasantly surprised by its flavor and restorative properties.

    mighty brave for an emperor to look see that their water has changed color, and decide to try it anyway.

      Yeah. Likely an emperors minion discovered Tea and credit was stolen.

  Water isn’t the ideal temperature. Everyone knows black tea must be made with water that’s 212-210 degreases Fahrenheit

    JFC, for someone so bent about the proper way to prepare tea, one would think you’d be able to spell “degrees”

      LOL I know how to spell degrees. I probably hit the wrong key and spellcheck autocorrected it to something random. Welcome to 2024.

    I mean, he’s not going to have black tea anyways as it won’t have been prepared correctly.
