Today is International Tea Day. Did you know tea is the world’s most consumed drink, after water? 

The day is supported by the United Nations which aims to promote and implement activities in favour of the sustainable production and consumption of tea, as well as raising awareness of its importance in fighting hunger and poverty. 

Tea has cultural significance in many societies as well as health and wellness benefits due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. To celebrate the day, we recommend enjoying our orange with cinnamon tea.
