In Chinese legend, EmperorShennong was drinking a bowl of just boiled water because of a decree that his subjects must boil water before drinking it.[12] Some time around 2737 BC, a few leaves were blown from a nearby tree into his water, changing the color and taste. The emperor took a sip of the brew and was pleasantly surprised by its flavor and restorative properties.
Hey, that’s basically tea’s origin story.

mighty brave for an emperor to see that their water has changed color, and decide to try it anyway.
Yeah. Likely an emperor’s chief taster/minion discovered Tea and credit was stolen.
