From ancient Chinese rituals to British afternoon traditions, tea has brewed its way into hearts worldwide—and it’s getting its moment in the spotlight! On the 5th International Tea Day, CGTN’s TeaFest livestream serves up a steaming celebration of how this humble leaf became a universal symbol of connection.
Whether you’re Team Matcha, a Chai enthusiast, or just here for the aesthetics of a perfectly steeped pot, tea’s 4,000-year journey proves it’s more than a drink—it’s a language of hospitality. The livestream dives into tea’s role in bridging cultures: think Moroccan mint ceremonies, Japanese tea masters, and the viral ‘tea tok’ trends uniting Gen Z.
Fun fact: The word ‘tea’ splits into ‘cha’ and ‘te’ globally—tracking historic trade routes! CGTN’s event spotlights how modern tea innovators blend tradition with tech, from biodegradable tea bags to matcha-infused desserts rocking TikTok.
Grab your favorite cup and tune in—this isn’t just about leaves in water. It’s a steeped-in-history reminder that our differences dissolve faster than sugar in a hot brew.
