The following legend is told about the origin of tea. Long ago, during the reign of Emperor Yao, an elderly woman lived in the mountains of eastern China. She earned her living by growing orchids, was famous for her good nature and kindness, for which everyone loved her very much and affectionately called her Lan Gu (Aunt Orchid). One day, a disaster struck the area: measles spread in the area and took many lives. There was no cure for it, and it seemed that there was no escape. But one night Lan Gu, a Taoist monk, dreamed. He told him that one could be saved from measles by drinking a drink made from the buds of a white tree. At night, Lan Gu woke up and went out of her house. She saw that the moon was shining very brightly on the path, as if inviting her to travel, and she followed it. The path led her to a tea tree that looked white because of the fluff on its leaves, and its buds shone like pure silver under the moonlight. The aunt gathered the buds, dried them in the sun, and brewed tea for the sick, and they all recovered. That tea was called the “elixir of immortality,” and the aunt was given a new name, Tai Mu, the Great Mother. Later, Tai Mu taught all the villagers how to grow, dry, and brew white tea. Centuries have passed, but tea still grows in those mountains, helps to heal from various diseases, and the mountains were named in honor of Lan Gu - Tai Mu Shan - the mountains of the Great Mother.
