According to Chinese mythology, a ruler Shen Nong discovered the stimulating properties of tea by accident 4000 years ago. During a summer visit to a distant region of his country, he halted for rest. The servants began boiling water for the ruler to drink by his decision that the drinking water needed to be boiled as a hygienic precaution. The water turned a dark brown as some leaves from an adjacent tree fell into it. The beverage fascinated the ruler. Chinese history claims that this ancient ruler was the first person to drink tea. Oolong tea is a semi-fermented type of tea. It is a beverage prepared from the leaves of\u202fCamellia sinensis\u202fand originated in ancient China. It is one of the best health-protective non-alcoholic beverages.
