National Tea Day (UK)

National Tea Day (UK) is celebrated annually on April 21 and focuses on enjoying tea while encouraging renewed interest in the beverage. According to CooksInfo’s account of the day, the tea industry-sponsored campaign began in 2015 and was designed to help revive tea sales in the United Kingdom.

The campaign encourages people to explore a greater variety of teas and to appreciate tea’s role in British culture while embracing new products and ways of enjoying it. Past activities have included a “Fes-Tea-Val” conference and exhibition, where merchants displayed tea-related gadgets and trends. The day emphasizes tea consumption and sales rather than tea production, distinguishing it from International Tea Day.

How to Observe National Tea Day (UK)

Celebrate by brewing a cup of tea and trying something different. Sample black, green, white, or herbal tea; switch from tea bags to loose-leaf tea; or enjoy your usual tea with lemon instead of milk. You could also have afternoon tea with friends, prepare iced tea, include tea in a recipe, or look for a tea-related event to attend. For a change of pace, try tea in a cocktail or mocktail.
