He was the second emperor of China and is known to have invented agriculture, the plow, and discovery of medicinal herbs. Tea was accidently discovered when Shen Nung was carrying wild tea brush to use as firewood when a gust of wind blew some tea leaves into his pot of boiling water. He found the mixture a delicate and refreshing drink. Tea evolved into an everyday drink in China. The Chinese used tea to heal the sick and to quench thirst.

In the beginning of the eighteenth century, almost nobody drank tea in Britain, and nearly everyone did by the end of it. Tea began as a luxury item, but when the British East India Company established trading posts in china the price began to drop and amount of tea began to rise. In factories the workers were even offered tea breaks. Tea also prevented disease in Europe. The tea act of 1773 gave the British government right to tax American colonists.
