Imagine your morning cuppa doing more than just waking you up—it’s actually brewing diplomacy! 🌱✨ Sri Lankan diplomat Nalika Kodikara, Minister Commercial of the Embassy of Sri Lanka in China, just spilled the tea (literally) on how Ceylon Tea is strengthening centuries-old bonds between Sri Lanka and China.
Speaking during CGTN’s UniTea: Macao Tea Melody program, Kodikara called Ceylon Tea a 'cultural ambassador,' blending history and modern trade. 'From ancient Silk Road exchanges to today’s bustling markets, tea has been our shared language,' she said, highlighting its role in fostering mutual understanding. 🫖🌏
The timing couldn’t be sweeter: Her remarks coincided with the 25th anniversary of Macao’s return to China. Kodikara cheered the milestone, saying such cultural programs 'brew unity' in our interconnected world. Talk about a perfect steep! 🎉
Next time you sip that golden Ceylon blend, remember—it’s not just tea. It’s a legacy of friendship, one cup at a time. ☕💛
