Comment on Tea Time
0x0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 months agoHey, 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.
