Tea Cups

Hong Kong

There are hundreds of teahouses and tea shops throughout Hong Kong. Afternoon tea is a much-loved tradition in Hong Kong. The history of tea dates back to ancient China, almost 5,000 years ago. According to legend, in 2732 B.C. Emperor Shen Nung discovered tea when leaves from a wild tree blew into his pot of boiling water. He was immediately interested in the pleasant scent of the resulting brew, and drank some.
