    1. Tea Was First Used as Medicine
    Before the 8th century BC, tea in China was primarily used as
    a medicine.
    Ancient Chinese people often boiled fresh tea leaves and
    drank the infusion. They believed that tea reduced "heat"
    (see Chinese medicinal cuisine) and improved eyesight.

    (1368-1644 AD), British merchants
    set up trading posts in Xiamen,
    Fujian Province and first started to
    trade in Chinese tea.

    In Mandarin Chinese, "tea" is "cha".


    The only region where it wasn't
    called it cha was Fujian Province.
    What the people of Xiamen called
    tay, the British spelled as "tea".

    tea-lovers: a brick of good Pu'er tea
    is more valuable than a gram of

    collecting, since some types of tea
    including green tea, deteriorate
    with age.
