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. ☕️❤️
