Although historians dispute the truth, this tale is popular with tea lovers. Contents The Monk’s Promise and the Moment of Weakness Birth of the Tea Plant Myths, history, and cultural impact The Legend is Still Important The Monk’s Promise and the Moment of Weakness Tradition has it that the story began in India, with a monk called Bodhidharma. Later, he traveled to China in order to spread Buddhist doctrines. He made a vow during his travels. He made a vow to not sleep for nine years. After a while, he was able to stay focused. But eventually, his exhaustion caught up. Birth of the Tea Plant Bodhidharma, determined not to make the same mistake again, took drastic action. According to legend, his eyelids were removed and then thrown to the ground. A new plant grew in this exact spot. This plant’s leaves had some unusual qualities. They created a beverage that refreshed and sharpened your mind when steeped with hot water. A monk used this brew in order to remain awake during his meditation. Later, people identified the plant as tea. The story has spread to other regions in Asia.
