In the Tang Dynasty, tea trees from China were brought back to Japan by a Japanese monk, and tea drinks took root in Japan, where tea cultivation began.
In the sixth year after Hong Ren, Emperor Wei Xiao toured the river and passed Chongfu Temple and Fan Shi Temple in the northwest of Kyoto. Because Zheng Yongzhong, a monk, personally made tea for the emperor, the emperor was very happy and praised it, so he ordered the planting and set up a place for making tea for the palace. There are also records of using tea in the ceremony of the palace. This is the earliest record of drinking tea in Japan. At that time, tea was very expensive, and only a few people such as monks and nobles could taste it.
The communication with China was interrupted by the abolition of diplomatic envoys in Tang Dynasty in the sixth year of Kuanping, and the rise of tea drinking in the upper class gradually declined. Only a few monks kept the habit of drinking tea, and the tea trees planted by monks at that time faded out of record.
