[quote=simonaderson] hi.................. one day the Chinese emperor wanted some boiled water and a tea leaf fell in his mug and he called it tea. Is it a real story of the tea i want it to know . thanks [/quote] It's just a legend，as the Santa Claus.BTW,I also like Chinese tea very much.

Hey,i am so excited that i am a chinese, i have not heard this story and i have found some information on website and i have not found something about this. But i can tell you that the origin of the word "tea" , the earliest found is in one book called "Shen Nong's herbal",an ancient Chinese medicine book , it is the most ancient of the first drug book in the world.

Check the in ingredients of the tea that you but. Some so called Green Tea can change your immune system. So, if you think green tea could help you loose weight think again, it has not been proven yet that it helps you with weight problem.
