This article tells the history of tea from ancient times to our time.

Tea bags, similar to modern ones, were invented by the engineer of the German company Teekanne Adolf Rumbold in 1929. But even here everything is not so clear.

It is believed that, in fact, the New York merchant Thomas Sullivan became the discoverer of tea bags, and this invention, like many others, was made completely by accident. In 1904, an American decided to package tea in small silk bags - as opposed to the traditional tea in cans at that time.

At the same time, Sullivan himself implied that buyers would pour tea out of the package before brewing. But everything didn’t go according to plan: resourceful New York restaurateurs who bought tea from a merchant quickly realized that they could brew it right in bags. Over time, of course, expensive silk was replaced by cheaper fabric, and the amount of tea in such a package was reduced to the required amount per mug.

Who invented black tea and came up with the tea bag? And how did tea leaves get to Russia? "Around the World" collected the most interesting myths and legends from the history of tea.
