Tea is not just a drink. It is the rise and fall of empires, intrigue, espionage, revolutions, bloody wars, it is a cult, traditions, rituals, urban and rural life, propaganda, art, science, the comfort of home gatherings and, of course, social salons. There is not a single sphere of life that has not been touched by the history of tea. On the way to tea dominion, Great Britain subdued the thousand-year-old Chinese empire, and it also created the modern tea industry in India and Sri Lanka, and then drove the American colonists to revolt, as a result of which a new state was born - the USA, where tea has already acquired a new face: in bags and plastic bottles of "ice tea". We will tell you how tea united nations and destroyed entire states, who considered it an elixir of immortality and who considered it a deadly poison, how the world cult of tea was formed and why the favorite drink of the Chinese became the favorite drink of the entire planet, more often than which people probably drink only water. Today, offering tea to guests or drinking it with your family in the evening at the same table is almost a sacred thing!
