According to legend, Emperor Shen Nong discovered tea when leaves drifted into his cup of boiling water. China makes all six traditional types of tea: green, white, yellow, oolong, black and dark. All come from the same plant, Camellia sinensis, and differ in how the leaves are processed after harvest.
