TEA

What is TEA
Tea is beverage made by steeping
processed leaves , buds , or twigs of
the tea bush , in hot water
for a few minutes.
 HISTORY OF TEA
The most popular beverage in the world, tea was first drunk
under the Chinese Emperor Shen-Nung around 2737 B.C.
An unknown Chinese inventor invented the tea shredder, a
small device that shredded tea leaves in preparation for
drinking. The tea shredder used a sharp wheel in the center
of a ceramic or wooden pot that would slice the leaves into
thin strips.The first tea bags were made from hand-sewn
silk muslin bags and have found tea bag patents of this sort
dating as early as 1903. First appearing commercially
around 1904, tea bags were successfully marketed by tea
and coffee shop merchant Thomas Sullivan of New York,
who shipped his tea bags around the world. A machine was
soon invented to replace the hand sewing of tea bags.
Also in 1904, iced tea was first reported to be served by
Englishmen Richard Blechynden at the St. Louis Fair,
however, there is evidence that the beverage was invented
prior to that date.
Thomas Lipton incorporated the Lipton Tea Company in
1915. Lipton Tea patented a novel four-sided tea bag in
1952 called the flo-thru tea bag.
