A Brief History of Tea The Health Benefits of Tea The origins of tea can be traced back nearly 5,000 years to a legendary emperor of China, an herbalist. It is believed that leaves from twigs he was burning floated into a kettle of boiling water. Thus tea was born and soon flourished throughout southern Asia. As trade routes expanded, tea made its way to the West, and today is enjoyed around the world. Many teas are brimming with healthful benefits like natural vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
