Did you know
that
tea, the most popular drink in the world (after water), was invented by accident? Many people believe that tea was first drunk about 5,000 years ago.
It is said that
a Chinese ruler called Shen Nong was the first to discover tea as a drink. One day Shen Nong was boiling water over an open fire. Some leaves from a tea plant
fell into
the water and remained there for some time. It produced a nice
smell
so he tasted the brown water. It was quite delicious, and so, one of the world’s favorite drinks was invented.

took place
in the 19th century. This helped to spread the popularity of tea and the tea plant to more places around the world.
