About International Tea Day
International Tea Day is celebrated annually on December 15 to honor the long history and cultural significance of tea worldwide. The day was proclaimed by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in 2019 to raise awareness of the importance of tea producers and consumers and to promote sustainable production and consumption.
Its origins trace back to efforts by tea-growing countries including India, Sri Lanka, Kenya, and China to highlight tea's economic and cultural contributions globally.
