Tea has been around for a very long time. It originated from China, and the locals believe that it was first used in 2737 B.C.E. for its medicinal properties. It was only introduced to the west when Portuguese priests visited China in the 16th century. It arrived in England by 1660, but only became popular in the 18th century. Tea is made from the leaves of the Camellia Sinensis plant, typically grown in plantations. While most people might not associate tea with any particular natural beauty, it is, in fact, the opposite! Tea plantations are remarkable; their green, endless beauty can make the mind soar, and the heart sing.
The Boh Plantation is the biggest supplier of black tea in Malaysia
