Tea in the Himalayas

The tea-plant Camellia sinensis is one of humanity’s oldest cultivated plants. It was first mentioned in a Chinese legend more than 4700 years ago. Originating from China the tea-plant gave rise to the development of myths, ceremonies, whole cultures and wars. After Europe discovered the plant for itself in the 17th century its triumph across the globe began. Today tea is one of the world’s most frequently enjoyed beverages and Darjeeling-tea has become the epitome of tea. Without tea the entire eastern Himalaya would not be what it is today.
