The beverage we have commonly come to call tea is the result of steeping the leaves of the tea tree (Camelia sinensis) in boiling water. All tea is from this common ancestor but as it has become a cultivated crop and planted throughout the world it has undergone a few changes. The plant is indigenous to India, China and parts of Japan. In the wild tea will grow into 8 meter (26 ft) trees. Originally people would go out Into the Woods, find a tea tree, cut it down and strip off all the leaves. It is said that tea was quite bitter to taste. Modern day tea bears little resemblance to that beverage.
