The Chinese have known about Green tea as a powerful medication
for at least 4000 years. According to legend, tea was discovered by a Chinese
emperor called Shen Nung. Some tea
leaves accidentally fell into boiling water, and he tried it and found it
invigorating. Green tea became part of the Chinese diet and many important
health benefits were attributed to it. Now recent medical studies in both asia
and the west are providing a scientific basis for the claim that drinking green
tea has very significant health benefits.
