No one can really know for sure but tea has been used in China for thousands of years.

Chinese tradition claims that it was discovered when some leaves accidentally fell in the Emperor's cup and he liked its flavor. He ordered more.

The effect was better public health as tea is traditionally prepared in boiling water, which kills any microorganisms that might be in the water due to contamination. Water in Europe was dangerously unhealthy due to microbial contamination forcing people to drink Alcoholic Beverages instead.
