Lone Palm

Half A Cup Of Tea

It is said that tea was invented by a Chinese emperor 4000 years ago who had a pot of boiling hot water when some leaves were blown into it by chance. But… it was an Irish/American tea merchant named Thomas Sullivan that invented the tea bag in New York in 1908…by accident.
