A major Chinese ruler by the named Shen Nung was the first to discover Tea. The tale goes that in the year 2,750 bc the emporer was sitting under a tree having some water boiled for him when some leaves from the tea plant fell into the boiling hot water. The emporer decided to taste the fresh brew, enjoyed it and thousands of years later the same brew is enjoyed every day by millions of people all over the world. We now know that consuming between a half and two cups of tea each and every day may help promote fertility by inhibiting abnormalities in our human chromosomes. In a recent test two hundred and fifty women drank as little as half a cup of tea per day and their pregnancy rates were twice those who did not.

In recent Australian studies CSIRO experts discovered that the occurrence of skin cancer in laboratory animals was greatly lowered when they were given black tea. It is thought that polyphenols which are very strong antioxidants and are contained in the tea are probably the most likely reason for this phenomenon. The most expensive teabag in the world was commissioned for the 75'th anniversary of the UK PG TIPS tea corporation. The bag was filled with two hundred and eighty perfect diamonds and expensive rare edition tea leaves. The bag cost seven thousand five hundred pounds and was sold at auction in aid of a Children's hospital in the United Kingdom.
