The History of Tea (Encore)

Everything Everywhere Daily: History, Science, Geography & More

Sometimes over 3000 years ago, somewhere in Southwestern China, a leaf from the Camellia sinensis plant may have accidentally found its way into a pot of boiling water. 

Noticing that the leaf had turned the water a different color, some person unknown to history drank the concoction and found that it was good. 

That was the start of something that is today a globe-spanning multi-billion dollar industry that millions of people indulge in every day.

Learn more about tea, its origins, and how it spread around the world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
