Lu Yu was a man that became a god over time because of his awesomeness. He wrote the first ever book about tea, The Classic of Tea, in 780 CE!!! The script had 10 chapters and covered everything from the production of tea, to how to brew it, to tea annecdotes of the past. Lu Yu started life as an orphan, was taken in by a buddhist monk, ran away to join the circus as a clown and ended up in the good humor of a govenor who educated him and put him in the company of the literati. Not long after, he wrote his infamous book and became the Sage of Tea. Cheers Lu Yu.
