National Tea Day
Celebrate National Tea Day on April 21.
Tea is one of the healthiest drinks on the planet. It gives us a sense of well-being. You drink tea when you are sick. You offer tea to someone sad, and you drink tea to calm down. Sharing a cup of tea provides a time to connect.
With all these amazing benefits, it’s no surprise we celebrate National Tea Day every year on April 21.
When is National Tea Day?
National Tea Day is celebrated annually on April 21. Founded in 2016, the date was chosen because April 21 is also Queen Elizabeth’s birthday. National Tea Day provides an opportunity for tea drinkers to appreciate the world of tea.
Please note that International Tea Day is celebrated on December 15 every year.
