The History of tea is almost as old as the history of China . All tea originally came from China. Legend says that it was the Emperor Shen Nong that discovered tea around 2700 B.C. The tea trade was first mentioned in 1066 B.C. when Yunnan sent some tribute tea to the emperor. It is thought that the origins of the Camellia Sinensis plant are Yunnan province in the south of China . Currently there is a wild tea tree that is over seventeen hundred years old, and there is a cultivated tea tree that is reported to be over eight hundred years old.
