In Pakistan, tea isn’t just a drink, it’s an emotion! Tea is ingrained into our daily routines, a firmly established tradition when it comes to serving guests, and a beloved ritual in many of our festivals and special occasions. It would also be no exaggeration to say that it is the lifeblood of a vast majority of Pakistanis!

International Tea Day is celebrated to pay tribute to tea workers and to make efforts to improve their working conditions, as well as to acknowledge the long, rich history, and cultural and economic significance of tea. Let us, as Pakistanis, pay special attention to this day, as tea holds a distinctive place in our hearts.

And don’t forget to enjoy a nice cup of tea with your loved ones on this International Tea Day!
