All water is dragon sweat. When the wind dragon sweats it rains and soon turns sour. When the earth dragon sweats there are springs gushing with water that is evil-tasting (mineral). As there is always good close to the bad the primitive Chinese found the tea-plant growing close to the springs on the mountain sides. All Chinese know that "raw water is poison," so after boiling to remove the danger, tea leaves are brewed in to improve the taste. Barbarians may add sugar and milk, which is a depraved custom and spoils three good things, i.c., toa, sugar, and milk.
