The United Nations has declared May 21 as International Tea Day.
When I was growing up, black tea was something family members drank daily, typically orange pekoe or Earl Grey. I was even allowed to drink some myself as a kid at family get-togethers and special occasions. It was always served hot, with milk and some sugar or honey.
As I got older, I learned more about the seemingly endless tea options and I still love to try new teas - although there’s always something comforting about the old standbys from my childhood.
Tea (as in black, green, or white tea from the Camellia sinesis plant) is the second-most consumed beverage in the world (water being first). Consumption here in Canada has been steadily increasing, with the Tea & Herbal Association of Canada pointing to rising tea consumption among millennials as a driving force behind the trend.
