National Tea Day is celebrated each year on April 21 in the UK.

While tea is already the most popular beverage in Britain, this day serves as its official celebration. It’s distinct from National Hot Tea Day in the United States, which takes place in January.

National Tea Day celebrates every aspect of tea culture—from the ritual of
afternoon tea to simply enjoying a comforting cup at home.
