At that time, the Chinese were engaged in international unfair trade, only exporting, not importing. so Britain could not endure the financial crisis and as a result, they sold opium to china. Even in modern times, if there is a country that tries to unfair international trade or protectionism, it is internationally condemned. Anyway,nothing has changed in China between the past and now.

Though this story of how tea was discovered is pretty good, i've read different versions of it in my history books. One version states that once there was an emperor in china around 6th BCE, who was unable to attend to his subjects one day. He felt uneasy, tired and unusually sleepy. So he told his servant to go get his doctor since he thought he might be sick. When the doctor came and was told of the situation, he opened his bag and took out a small purse. From it he took out a number of leaves, and told his majesty to chew them. When the emperor did so, he declared that they were bitter, and just some common leaves which wouldn't be able to cure him. The doctor argued with him, persuading him to try again, but the emperor thought the doctor was just fooling him. So he threatened that if he didn't go away from his town by tomorrow, he would cut off his head. Sighing, the doctor turned back. Just as he was about to leave the emperor's room, His servants came in carrying his hot bath. In fell some leaves from the doctor's purse to the warm water. In a matter of a few seconds, the brown colour mixed with the water, and just like that, invented the world's first tea. When the emperor saw this, he said that if he was not able to chew the tea leaves then perhaps he'll be able to drink them. He ordered the servants to bring a cup of hot water, and then put some tea leaves from the doctor's purse. He reached the cup to his lips, drank, and then broke into a wide grin. He exclaimed it was the best drink he had ever tasted! He said to the doctor that he was very clever, and would reward him instead of cutting his head. Then he told his messengers to go and inform all the agriculturists and farmers to grow this plant and serve this drink to him every morning. Since then, tea has grown in all parts of china Hope you liked my version of the story! And hey, how about a cup of tea ☕?

But these were considered medicinal and not consumed as regularly as other beverages. It's amazing how absolutely prolific tea drinking became in the rest of the world because of this.

I heard another story of the tea. There was this Chinese Emperor having a walk around his yard. It was cold so his servants gave him a cup with hot water to drink and keep his hands warm. Then, it started to get windy and the Emperor got cold, so he took a sip of his warm water, but it tasted delicious, yet strange. He never drank something as tasty! He looked down and found out his water wasn't clear anymore, and that inside the cup there were little leaves, darkening his drink. Excited, he went inside his palace and asked his servants what those leaves were, and they told him that it was tea, a common weed that grows (and his servants can't get rid of) inside his yard. The Emperor ordered two servants to bring more leaves into his palace and asked another one to warm some water. He taught his servants to make tea, and since then, that was his favourite drink. He shared his tea with his family and friends, and it quickly became the traditional drink from China.

Etymology of tea: Most Chinese languages, such as Mandarin and Cantonese, pronounce it along the lines of cha, but Hokkien varieties along the Southern coast of China and in Southeast Asia pronounce it like teh. These two pronunciations have made their separate ways into other languages around the world:[10] Te is from the Amoy tê of southern Fujian province. The ports of Xiamen (Amoy) and Quanzhou were once major points of contact with foreign traders. Western European traders such as the Dutch may have taken this pronunciation either directly from Fujian or Formosa where they had established a port, or indirectly via Malay traders in Bantam, Java.[11] The Dutch then spread this pronunciation of tea to Western Europe. This pronunciation gives rise to English "tea" and similar words in other languages, and is the most common form worldwide. Cha is from the Cantonese chàh of Guangzhou (Canton) and the ports of Hong Kong and Macau, also major points of contact, especially with the Portuguese, who spread it to India in the 16th century. The Korean and Japanese pronunciations of cha, however, came not from Cantonese, rather they were borrowed into Korean and Japanese during earlier periods of Chinese history. A third form, chai, is likely to have come from Persian چای chay. Both the châ and chây forms are found in Persian dictionaries.[12] They are thought to have been derived from Northern Chinese pronunciation of chá,[13] which passed overland to Central Asia and Persia, where it picked up the Persian grammatical suffix -yi before passing on to Russian, Arabic, Turkish, etc.[14] The chai pronunciation was introduced into India by the Mughals, and entered English via Hindi-Urdu.[2] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etymology_of_tea

My favourite variety of tea is Earl Grey. It tastes so refreshing and it has a pretty interesting story, too! So once there was this British earl, Earl Grey. He was traveling in China and one rainy day his carriage slipped and got stuck in a ditch. A kind Chinese merchant helped him out and gave him some tea to warm up, which was unlike any other tea he had before. After that, Earl Grey became good friends with the merchant and he asked for the tea to be shipped back to England. However, back in those days the only method of exporting goods was by sea and it was difficult and time consuming, so Earl Grey had to wait one year for his tea to arrive. Fed up with the long wait, he asked for the recipe and got the reply. He started making the tea himself and drinking it everyday. Since he was in the aristocracy the tea got popularized and soon many people in the elite social class started drinking this bergamot-scented tea, Earl Grey. And the thing I like most? The merchant (according to my dad, who's a big history nerd) was from the Guangdong province, where Hong Kong is. I live in Hong Kong, so every time I drink some tea, I can take a little sip of history.
