International Tea Day 2022: FAO to host virtual event “Celebrating Tea Around the World from Field to Cup” on 23 May from 1200-1430 CEST

The world is poised to mark the International Tea Day on 21 May, at a challenging time for our economies and societies. Tea can play a key role both in bringing people together and as an engine of economic recovery, particularly for many low-income countries. But there’s an urgent need to reflect on how to bring improvements to the sector and the livelihoods it represents and to overcome the challenges of sustainability and market price volatility.

In this context on 23 May the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is hosting a virtual celebration for International Tea Day, featuring contributions from the Permanent Representations of Argentina, China, India, Tanzania and the United Kingdom showcasing their unique tea-drinking traditions or ceremonies surrounding the beverage. This will be followed by a panel discussion on how to achieve a better, fairer, more inclusive and sustainable tea industry and how to boost tea consumption through innovative and forward-looking strategies.

The event can be followed on Zoom by registering HERE<https://fao.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_FOFrsFj_RLSjFo5TKIDk9A> and will also be webcast live HERE<https://www.fao.org/webcast/home/en/>
