According to legend, tea was discovered completely by accident when leaves blew into boiling water over 2,700 years ago, creating the world’s first cup of tea.

Tea is the second most consumed beverage in the world, right after water — with billions of cups enjoyed every single day across all seasons.

Tea bags became popular thanks to a happy mistake in the early 1900s, when people brewed tea without opening the bags, discovering an easier way to enjoy a cup.

Iced tea became a hit in the United States after it helped people cool off during a hot summer world’s fair, turning tea into a warm weather favorite.

Across different cultures, tea is poured, shared, and served as a symbol of friendship, hospitality, and relaxation — making every cup a little moment of connection.

Tea leaves have been enjoyed hot, cold, sweet, and plain for centuries, proving that tea is a drink that truly fits every mood and every season.
