Green Tea in Japan
2004
Although there is a theory that tea trees were originally grown in Japan, the green tea used at present by Japanese most probably comes from China Lu Yu, noted Chinese author and tea expert, who was regarded as a “tea god” or “tea ancestor”, published a book “Ch’a Ching” (Tea Classic) in A.D. 780. In this book, tea is described as a good tree in the Sough. A traditional ancestor of medicinal herbs, “Shen Nung”was referred to as the “Divine Healer” and lived around 2730 BC. He declared that“ drinking of tea gives you strength and imparts a relaxing feeling” The place where the tea tree originated may be located in Yunnan in South China.
