Tea is the most popular beverage in the world after water. Tea has been refreshing the mankind for more than 5000 years. On December 19, 2019, the United Nations General Assembly passed resolution 74/241, declaring May 21st ‘INTERNATIONAL TEA DAY‘. As Tea & Herbal Association of Canada had posted, tea lovers should aim to elevate tea and celebrate it around the globe. The resolution acknowledges the “… urgent need to raise public awareness of the importance of tea for rural development and sustainable livelihoods and to improve the tea value chain to contribute to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.” Meantime, Google is the most commonly used search engine in the world.

I would like to request all tea lovers to send an email to Google requesting a tea theme for International Tea Day, May 21^st, every year moving forward. Let’s pass the message to the international community and encourage them to do the same as well.

Please send your email to: doodleproposals@google.com

The power of the tea industry is in a collective voice. And to that end, we have an oppportunity we are asking EVERYONE to jump on.

As you may know, Google dedicates its front page to major events, important dates etc. through something called a “Google Doodle“. These ‘doodles’ appear on the front search page of Google which dominates the world’s searches. Controlling 85% of the searches done worldwide, the impact of people seeing the ‘doodle’ is around 40,000 searches every second.

The Google team receives suggestions from around the world on which ‘doodle’ to consider. Their team then deliberates over the suggestions and compiles the chosen ones for the year. I should mention that their team also creates all the art work.  

I am sure Google team is also enjoying their tea with a great deal of joy. So they may not neglect the request from the world tea community.
