May.17.24 MORE THAN A CELEBRATION OF TEA

In 2005, a group of tea workers from India got together and created International Tea Day.

The idea behind the group and the day was to share the plight of tea workers and to shed more light on the industry and its work force. Now in its nineteenth year, the purpose of International Tea Day remains the same.

The living environments are often substandard and the wages extremely low. As the tea industry continues to experience tremendous growth, it is important that traditions, quality and meaning are not lost. 

By learning more as tea consumers and supporting organic tea farmers, you are advocating for and fostering collective actions in implementing activities to support sustainable production and consumption of tea, resulting in a healthier living and work environment for thousands of tea pickers worldwide!
