Tea is the world's most popular drink, aside from water. The key types of tea include white, black, green, oolong, herbal, and pu'erh. Tea is thought to have originated in China. There, drinkers were using tea for medicinal purposes. Tea made its way to the United Kingdom in the 17th century.
Tea requires a large production scale due to the world's large number of tea drinkers. Unfortunately, production in several tea-producing countries is also plagued by many challenges. Poor wages for tea workers, a lack of medical attention for tea workers in rural areas, and a lack of safe and potable water on tea plantations are among the challenges that tea-producing countries face. Improved sanitation on tea plantations is also required. In addition, women account for 55% of the workforce on tea plantations. These women are often not educated, and they don't have access to education.

The international tea day is the longest in history
In 2004, the World Social Forum introduced International Tea Day, which was the first at the World Social Forum. In 2005, the first International Tea Day was celebrated in New Delhi, India. In 2006, Sri Lanka began staging commemorations. International Tea Day celebrations, as well as Global Tea Conferences, have been largely responsible for organising International Tea Day celebrations. The Indian government submitted a report to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization in 2015 (FAO). The aim was to increase the observance of countries around the world. In June of 2019, the UN considered combining special tea days from various countries into one day.
On May 21st, the Intergovernmental Group on Tea suggested that we commemorate International Tea Day. The plan was accepted at a recent FAO conference and is awaiting UN General Assembly acceptance.
