Chinese tea history
Early archaeological and historical evidence
The origin of tea from the Shennong family is a mythological story, and there is currently no clear evidence to prove it. Leaving aside myths, archaeologists have found evidence that tea was used as a medicine by elites as early as the Han Dynasty.
It was not until the Tang Dynasty that tea was recognized as a daily beverage and widely circulated.
Chinese Buddhist monks were the earliest to develop the habit of drinking tea. The caffeine contained in tea helps them concentrate during long periods of prayer and meditation.
