International Tea Day
May 21 · Level 6 · #1112 of 2238
International Tea Day draws attention to the millions of people worldwide who grow, pick and drink tea. The UN General Assembly proclaimed it in 2019 to highlight growers' work and sustainable production.
How it is celebrated: tea rooms and homes host tastings and tea parties, plantations welcome visitors, and many people try a variety from another country.
White, green, oolong and black tea all come from the same plant, Camellia sinensis; the difference lies in how the leaves are processed.
