ship our tea products from all over the world at very
competitive rates.

The story of tea began in ancient China over 5,000 years
ago. According to legend, Shen Nung, an early emperor was
a skilled ruler, creative scientist and patron of the
arts. His far-sighted edicts required, among other things,
that all drinking water be boiled as a hygienic
precaution. One summer day while visiting a distant region
of his realm, he and the court stopped to rest. In
accordance with his ruling, the servants began to boil
water for the court to drink. Dried leaves from the near
by bush fell into the boiling water, and a brown liquid
was infused into the water. As a scientist, the Emperor
was interested in the new liquid, drank some, and found it
very refreshing. And so tea was created."This myth
maintains such a practical narrative, that many
mythologists believe it may relate closely to the actual
events, now lost in ancient history"
In the 10th century Europeans became exposed to tea
drinking in Japan and China and brought the habit back to
Europe. It was the Venetians that introduced tea drinking
to the Arabs. By the early part of the 13th century it
enjoyed a monopoly of the trade of the Middle East, and by
the 15th century it was a formidable power in Europe. Part
of Venices great wealth came from trading in the spices of
the East, which it obtained in Alexandria and sold to
northern and western European buyer-distributors at
exorbitant prices.
In Egypt today tea represents 70% of the beverage market.
