When Chinese people talk about Chinese tea culture today，they won't miss an important person in Chinese history﹣Lu Yu， respected as a "Sage of Tea （茶圣）" for his achievements in the Chinese tea culture．He is best﹣known for The Classic of Tea， the first work on growing， making and drinking tea．
Lu was born in Jingling in 733 A．D．As a child， he became a student of Zou Fuzi．Thanks to his teacher's guidance， he learnt a lot． He often made tea for his teacher． He also took care of his fellow students' health using his knowledge on tea and herbs （草药）．
Lu Yu often went to the countryside to gather tea leaves and herbs．On one of those trips，Lu Yu found a spring． The water was quite clear and clean． When Lu made tea with this spring water，he found the tea tasted better than usual． From then on， he realized the importance of water quality in making tea．
In 752 A．D， Lu Yu finished his studies and returned to Jingling， where he met Cui Guofu． Both men shared the same interests in tea， literature （文学） and poetry． They soon became good friends．Since then， the two spent much time travelling， drinking tea and writing poems together．
