The first people who drank tea were the Chinese, because the bush grew wild all over the south of China. They liked the taste, and found that the drink could refresh(使精力恢复) them.
People living in Europe first learned about tea growing and drinking from a book printed in Italy in 1599. The writer said that tea was a wonderful medicine. Although people in Europe knew about tea in 1599, it was another fifty years before the first tea from China reached Holland.
A few years later, tea was brought overland from China to Russia. The long difficult journey was made over mountains and across deserts.
The new drink reached England in 1657. It was sold at one of the coffee houses. Only the very rich people could afford to drink.
