International Tea Day

This is going to be a HUGE holiday celebration in our house today.  Tea for everyone!

International Tea Day has been celebrated on December 15 since 2005* in tea producing countries like Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Kenya, Malaysia and India (just to name a few).  It was started so they could draw attention to global tea trade and the impact on workers and growers with the hopes for price support and fair trade. 

*2005 is very fitting for the origination of this holiday.  That is the year that Bella was born which is probably why she is a huge tea aficionado?

How can you celebrate International Tea Day

Start by having a cup of tea.  

Try your tea hot or on the rocks (iced)

Try a new brand or flavor of tea

Have a tea party

Do a little research on tea brands that support fair trade and switch to their brand.  Or try out one of their fair trade teas.

Oh, and don't forget to post to social media.  You can use #InternationalTeaDay to help recognize the day and to educate others about the tea industry.

I'll make sure I mark this date on our calendar for next year.  I know I won't want to miss out!

Cheers!
