The young Emperor Zhao Bing fled south as the Song court retreated before the advancing Mongol forces. When he reached the Phoenix Mountains in Chaozhou, he was very thirsty and was offered tea made from the leaves of a local tea tree. Impressed by its distinctive flavour, the emperor is said to have praised the tea, and the tree became known as “Song Tea”.
