The History of Tea (Encore)

Sometimes over 3000 years ago, somewhere in Southwestern China, a leaf from the Camellia sinensis plant may have accidentally found its way into a pot of boiling water.  Noticing that the leaf had turned the water a different color, some person unknown to history drank the concoction and found that it was good.  That was the start of something that is today a globe-spanning multi-billion dollar industry that millions of people indulge in every day. Learn more about tea, its origins, and how it spread around the world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily. \ Sponsors Sign up at butcherbox.com/daily and use code daily to get chicken breast, salmon or ground beef FREE in every order for a year plus $20 off your first order!
