Happy Tea Day! Come sample a variety of teas and learn some interesting facts about one of the world’s oldest beverages.
The origins of tea stretch back more than 5,000 years, but its contributions to health, culture, and socioeconomic development are still as relevant today. Tea is currently grown in very localized areas and supports over 13 million people, including smallholder farmers and their households, who depend on the tea sector for their livelihoods.
International Tea Day is an opportunity to celebrate the cultural heritage, health benefits, and economic importance of tea while working to make its production sustainable “from field to cup” and ensuring its benefits for people, cultures, and the environment continue for generations.
