Culture: May 21 is International Tea Day

The United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution on Thursday designating May 21 as International Tea Day.

Tea production and processing contributes to the fight against hunger, the reduction of extreme poverty, the empowerment of women and the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, it added. The resolution invites the international community to observe the day as appropriate through education and activities aimed at raising public awareness about the importance of tea for rural development and sustainable livelihoods.
