National Tea Day - Monday 21st April!
Put the kettle on and select your favorite blend because April 21st is National Tea Day!
National Tea Day is a celebration of tea culture and a chance to inspire future generations to explore and cherish the world of tea. Established in 2016, the 21st of April was selected not only to honour the occasion but also because it marks the birthday of the late Queen Elizabeth. Could there be a more fittingly British way to pay tribute to this beloved tradition?
