Which dynasty was the earliest popular oriental leaf tea in China?

China's tea culture has a long history, and literati in past dynasties also have a special liking for tea. As for the title of oriental leaf tea, it is because tea has spread across the ocean to India that it is widely loved by people from all walks of life in Europe. Because this kind of tea comes from a mysterious eastern country, they named it Oriental Leaf Tea. In China, tea originated in the Han Dynasty, but it was popular in the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, the tea culture of the Tang Dynasty has special significance in China. Before that, our tea was all coarse tea, but in the Tang Dynasty, we began to drink it carefully.

I. History of Tea The history of tea in China can be traced back to the time when Shennong tasted a hundred herbs. According to the records in fairy tales, in order to cure the diseases of the world, Shennong made up his mind to taste all kinds of herbs and understand their medicinal properties. But many of these herbs are poisonous, so Shennong will drink a bowl of tea to detoxify every time he tastes them. Therefore, the earliest medicinal function of tea is to clear away heat and detoxify. With the continuous development of time, people gradually tasted the sweetness of tea. So he began to widely praise the way of drinking tea.

2. Tea in the Tang Dynasty has a very far-reaching influence in the history of tea culture in China. Before the Tang Dynasty, people drank tea in a crude way and didn't pay attention to tea art, but in the Tang Dynasty, they invented a set of tea-drinking techniques, including paying attention to tea sets, appreciating the true colors of tea, washing tea and making tea. This technique has always been sought after by people from all walks of life, so in the Tang Dynasty, a trend of drinking tea was formed. Therefore, tea drinking was also popular in the Tang Dynasty, and it was also the time when China tea culture reached its peak. Therefore, from this perspective, the Tang Dynasty made an indelible and outstanding contribution in the history of tea culture.

Third, the significance of tea culture Until modern society, China still exported all kinds of tea to other countries in the world. Tea is also widely loved by people around the world. Therefore, tea is also a symbol of China to a certain extent, which has promoted the establishment of China's international status.
