Sejarah Teh dan Misionari
Catatan bacaan page 21 buku Darjeeling.
Bila bincang pasal teh pasti akan dirujuk sama teh di China. Juga selalu dirujuk peranan misionari yang datang menyebar Kristian Katolik ke China. Mereka turut memperkenal teh China bila mereka pulang ke negara asal di Barat. Salah seorang misionari tersebut adalah Father Gaspar de Cruz (1520-1570).

The Catholic church was very interested in spreading the faith to China, and the missionaries they sent brought back interest in and desire for – tea. The first Portuguese ships reached China in 1516. In 1560 Portuguese missionary Gaspar da Cruz published the first widely-distributed European account of Chinese tea. People who could read (which was NOT everyone) were even more curious about this exotic beverage.
