The main types of tea are green tea, black tea, oolong tea, and white tea, which differ in their level of oxidation, method of production, and flavor. ֍ Do you know that green tea was discovered in China more than 4,000 years ago? According to legend, Chinese Emperor Shen Nong boiled water under a wild tea tree while traveling in 2737 BC. J.-C. Tea leaves would have fallen into the water and the emperor would have tasted the drink thus obtained. He would have been enchanted by the flavor and the virtues of this drink, and would therefore have encouraged its consumption throughout the empire. Thus was born green tea, which has become an emblematic drink of Chinese culture and which has spread throughout the world over the centuries.
