Tea was first discovered by the Chinese Emperor Shennong in 2737 BC. It is said that the emperor liked his drinking water boiled before he drank it so it would be clean, so that is what his servants did. One day, on a trip to a distant region, he and his army stopped to rest. A servant began boiling water for him to drink, and a dead leaf from the wild tea bush fell into the water. It turned a brownish color, but it was unnoticed and presented to the emperor anyway. The emperor drank it and found it very refreshing, and cha (tea) was born.
an evergreen eastern Asian shrub related to the tea plant, grown for its showy flowers and shiny leaves.

A basic type of green tea, common in Japan but less common in the West is called "bancha".
Tea originates from China. It was from there, Persian travelers took it with them. They called it Chaí, which is Farsi for "green juice". Arabian merchants too it to the Arabic world, and in the 1500s and 1600s, the Dutch took it with them, calling it "thee'', from which the word "tea" comes.

Now, if Britain sold directly to the colonists, and sold it to them for $7, then Britain would make more and the colonies would pay less.
