In ancient China, a great man called Shen2 Nong2 Shi4 tasted thousands of herbs in order to find the proper medicine to cure folks. He has been poisoned many times but cured by himself every time. One day he collected herbs in a mountain. When he was very thirsty, a leaf fell before his eyes. It was cutely green and fragrante. As usual, he tasted the leaf and was shocked by its bitterness. After hard study, he affirmed this was a kind of medicine to disperse thirsty and excite oneself. Gradually, this kind of leaf are used wildly and developed into different kinds of teas. Have you ever heard of this story or Shen Nong Shi? : D
