A Brief History of Tea-Our Interpretation! Around the world, the only beverage people drink more than tea is water. And yet the origins of this popular drink are somewhat sketchy. Some experts believe that ancient cave paintings depict cavemen drinking tea to relieve the stress of hunting, gathering, and not-being-eaten.
In 350 A.D., Chinese scholar Kou P’o wrote of a beverage “…made from the leaves by boiling…” or “…that the maid believes is spoiling…” depending on whose translation you trust.
Early in the 17th century, Dutch traders introduced the popular Asian drink to Europe by sharing the complimentary tea samples they swiped from upscale Chinese and Japanese hotels (along with tiny bottles of shampoo, hand lotion, and mouthwash). Tea found its way to America in the 1600’s. Our contributions to tea culture include iced tea and the tea-bag.
