Bodhidraman is believed to be the Indian legend who introduced tea.

- He spent around 9 years in the caves of China and dedicated his life to meditation. Unfortunately, the great saint couldn't control his sleep. In a rage, he cut off his eyelids.
- The eyelids fell and new seedlings rise to form the tea plant.
- This is how tea got its property for medicinal purposes.
- It is also believed that tea was first discovered by Chinese Emperor Shennong in the year 2737 BC. He was boiling water and a few leaves fell in the water.
