History of tea
Divine Farmer Shennong's Legendary Discovery During an extensive day of foraging through the forest for edible grains and herbs, the weary divine farmer Shennong unwittingly poisoned himself a total of 72 times. Miraculously, before the poisons could claim his life, a drifting leaf found its way into his mouth. Upon chewing it, Shennong experienced a revival, leading to the legendary discovery of tea. While tea doesn't possess actual curative properties for poisonings, this mythical tale emphasizes its profound significance in ancient China.

The story of chocolate
If you find it challenging to envisage a life devoid of the delectable allure of chocolate, consider yourself fortunate to have come into existence after the 16th century. Before this pivotal period, chocolate existed in a form far removed from the delectable varieties we relish today. Tracing its origins back to 1900 BCE, the denizens of Mesoamerica were already intricately processing the beans from the native cacao tree. Historical archives suggest that these beans underwent grinding and were then amalgamated with cornmeal and chili peppers, resulting in a beverage—distinct from the soothing hot cocoa we cherish today, it was a bitter, invigorating concoction crowned with frothy foam.
