The British have been drinking tea for over 350 years. But in fact, the history of tea goes much     1    (far) back.

The story of tea begins in China. According to the legend, the Chinese emperor Shen Nung was sitting     2    a tree while his servant boiled drinking water, when some leaves from the tree blew into the water. Shen Nung,     3     expert in herbal medicine, decided to try the water his servant created. As a result, it tasted so good that later the drink was     4     we now call tea.

Containers of tea     7    (find) in tombs dating from the Han dynasty (206BC-220AD) before tea was firmly established as the national drink of China in the Tang dynasty (618-906AD).

It was shortly after this that tea was first introduced to Japan, by Japanese Buddhist monks who had travelled to China to study before. Tea drinking has become a vital part of Japanese culture,     10    may be rooted in the sprit described in the Ch’a Ching.
