Tea Blog

June is a wonderful month—filled with weddings, the start of summer, and celebrations like Father’s Day. Tea is becoming increasingly popular at many of these occasions, making it the perfect time to raise a teacup in celebration.

To help get you inspired, here’s a list of fun (and sometimes unusual) reasons to enjoy tea throughout the month.

I’ve skipped a few well-known dates like Flag Day, Father’s Day, and the Summer Solstice, focusing instead on lesser-known occasions—just to give you even more excuses to enjoy a good cup of tea.

Monthly highlights include: Dairy Month, Candy Month, National Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Month, National Adopt a Cat Month, and

National Rose Month
. (Plus, the second week of June is Email Week.)
