One day he was sitting in his garden and he asked his servant to bring hot water. When the water was getting heated, suddenly a leaf fell into it. At that time no one paid attention to that leaf, but when the king drank that water, its taste and color were different. The king felt very refreshed after drinking this drink. The bush of that leaf was growing in his garden itself. After this, people started boiling this leaf and drinking it and it was named tea. In this way, tea spread from China and became famous all over the world.
