National Tea Day is celebrated in a more major manner in the United Kingdom than any other holiday. The day was established on April 21, 2016. In addition, it represents Queen Elizabeth’s birthday. Tea originated in China and was once the most popular beverage there. However, the history of western people’s fondness for tea begins with Catherine of Braganza, a Portuguese queen who married King Charles II and brought tea as a beverage to England. As part of her dowry, several cartons of leaf tea were given to her, and she began to drink tea on a daily basis. Surprisingly, the royal courts, including the aristocrats, adopted the habit of drinking tea as soon as possible. Tea can be consumed as a meal and thus a drink. The Duchess of Bedford, Anna Russell, is credited for popularizing afternoon tea in the late 1840s as a way to alleviate her hunger. She drank tea in the periods between her two daily meals and shared it with her companions.
The major goal of National Tea Day is to bring all tea enthusiasts together. They do, however, want to be with all tea drinkers, servers, and the entire tea industry after working with culturally diverse colleagues and partners for a long time. There are over two thousand different types of tea in the world. Tea comes in many varieties, including black tea, green tea, yellow tea, white tea, herb tea, oolong tea, pu’erh tea, or fermented tea. These teas are well-known throughout the world. Black tea is unique in that it is mostly preferred in Western countries. China and Japan are the two countries where green tea is most popular. In China and Korea, yellow tea is also popular. Western countries are the most familiar with oolong tea. Chinese pu’erh tea is a popular name for pu’erh tea.

Yellow tea, on the other hand, has a more aromatic and mature flavour. White tea is the lightest and most delicate of the teas, yet it is also the most sophisticated and mild in flavour. It might have a fruity or floral scent. Herbs tea is a mixture of herbs, spices, fruits, and other plants. Oolong tea, on the other hand, has a wide range of flavours. Finally, unlike Kombucha, pu’erh tea is fermented after the tea has already been made.
