Legends of Tea
About how exactly people found tea, in different countries of the world there are legends. There are especially many stories about this plant in China, Japan and India. The Japanese claim that the tea bush grew from Prince Daruma's eyelids, which he cut off and threw on the ground to keep awake during meditation. By the way, this is the reason why tea has tonic properties and helps to fight fatigue and sleepiness. According to the same legend, these properties of the drink were discovered by the disciples of Prince Daruma by brewing the leaves of an unusual bush that grew. The Chinese explain the emergence of tea in different ways. Thus, one legend says that the tea bush was created during the creation of Heaven and Earth, associating it with the name of the Sun King Yan-di.
