Throughout the ages and times, tea has maintained its global leadership as a favorite drink among peoples. Such as:

The first evidence of tea consumption dates back to 200 BC in China

This discovery proved that the history of tea consumption was about 200 years earlier.

- All kinds of tea are sourced from one plant

All teas come from Camellia sinensis.

All leaves of this small shrub are used to produce tea.

But the different types of tea are due to the different areas and conditions of plant growth, and production processes.

- The plant found from the original tea plant was named Camellia sinensis asamica.

The tastes of Assam are better, dark and green, as the oxidation process that causes the leaves of the tea to darken reduces the floral flavor and adds a stronger flavor.

The English breakfast tea mixture contained Assam tea, which made it a strong flavor, prompting people to add milk.

Milk continues to be added to tea in the UK, but elsewhere in Europe, milk is rarely added.

This is due to the Dutch import of tea from the Java region in Indonesia, which was so light that it did not require milk, so it became a common method in France, Spain and Germany.

Tea was brought to Japan from China by Japanese priests and caravans around the 6th century AD. He soon became a clergy drink.

For decades, green tea has become an essential drink among intellectuals and members of the upper class.

Buddhist monks took tea from China in the 15th century, but the Japanese turned it into their own rite, becoming a quasi-religious tradition.

The Russians obtained tea supplies via caravans from China.

Camel caravans have been traveling for months, carrying tea across continents.

The smoke of the fire they burned at night infiltrated the caravan of tea, and when they arrived in Moscow or St. Petersburg, the tea became a smoker, which is typical of the Russian caravan tea we know today.

The 17th century saw a diplomatic break between China and the British Empire, prompting Britain to seek an alternative source of tea.

The East India Company, which dominated world trade at the time, turned to the Scottish botanist Robert Fortune, known for his interest in collecting and selling rare spices to the aristocracy.

Fortune was assigned to go undercover to China and smuggle tea to India to form a parallel industry.

He has already smuggled 20,000 plants and seeds from China to Darjeeling, but was surprised by the tea that grows wild there.

The secret operation is credited with turning India into a tea stronghold.

-Tea on bread sandwiches?

Thomas Garaway began selling tea in London in 1657, and there was confusion over how best to consume it.

It was a luxury commodity at the time, and many could not afford to buy it, so it became desirable and a sign of wealth.

But many did not know how to use it.

Sources indicate attempts to soak his leaves, eat them, or put them on bread sandwiches with butter.

- The triumph of tea over coffee
Turkey has always been the largest tea market in the world.

Most Turkish tea comes from the fertile cliffs of Rize, on the east coast of the Black Sea.

Despite the international fame of Turkish coffee, the most popular drink in Turkey is tea.

- Fueling revolutions
In 1773, residents of the American city of Boston were in revolt against British rule.

Here came the Boston Tea Party, which protested against the British government's taxation of tea.

In the darkness of the night, US thuwar attacked three British ships at Boston Harbor and sank 342 tea containers into the water.

These protests were a step towards the American War of Independence.
