From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from British National Tea Day)

National Tea Day is observed in the United Kingdom every year on 21 April to celebrate the drinking of tea.[1] It is celebrated in tea rooms, hotels, pubs and cafés through special events,[2] and charitable fundraising events held across the country,[3] including a tea 'Fes-Tea-Val' at Chiswick House & Gardens in London.[2][4] Tea brands and press outlets run promotions and features in conjunction with the day, including The Independent,[5] Metro[6] and The Telegraph,[7] as well as local newspapers.[8][9] The day is observed to celebrate the British tea culture and is celebrated in other countries such as the U.S. to enjoy British teas.
