History of Japanese Green Tea Since the 8th Century The discovery of tea (cha) is credited to the 5-6th century Indian sage Daruma (aka Bodhidharma), the founder of Chan Buddhism.

It’s not just tea. It’s Zen, empire, ritual, and resistance.

Green tea helped monks stay awake for decades — and rulers stay in power for centuries.

This is the story of Cha. And Bodhidharma.
