Answer» (i) Chinese legend : A Chinese emperor always boiled water before drinking it. One day a few leaves of branches burning under the pot fell- into the water. It gave a delicious flavour. These were tea leaves. (ii) Indian legend : Bodhidharma, a Buddhist monk cut off his eyelids because he felt sleepy during meditations. Ten tea plants grew out of the eyelids. These leaves when put in hot water and drunk, banished sleep. |
