It was quite delicious, and so, one of the world's most favorite drinks was invented.A few thousand years later, Lu Yu, "the saint of tea", mentioned Shen Nong in his book Cha Jing. The book describes how tea plants were grown, and used to make tea. It also discusses where the finest tea leaves were produced and what kinds of water were used.It's believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries.
