Legend says that it began with a single leaf drifting into a pot of boiling water in ancient China. Centuries later, tea is the second-most consumed drink in the world (after water). Today is International Tea Day, a global nod to this timeless beverage, established by the United Nations to recognise tea"s role in reducing poverty and supporting sustainable development. It"s a day to honour both the drink and the people who are part of this industry.
