Tea, derived from the Camellia sinesis plant, is the second most consumed beverage worldwide, following water. Its origin traces back to areas like northeast India, north Myanmar, and southwest China, with historical records showing its consumption in China around 5,000 years ago.
Tea plays a crucial socio-economic role, particularly in developing countries, where it provides livelihoods for millions of families, generates income and export revenues, and offers employment in economically disadvantaged regions. As a significant cash crop, tea contributes to rural development, poverty reduction, and food security. It also carries health benefits due to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and weight loss properties, in addition to holding cultural significance across various societies.
International Tea Day, celebrated on 21 May, was established to promote sustainable tea production and consumption, and to highlight its role in combating hunger and poverty. The tea industry's contribution aligns with several Sustainable Development Goals, including reducing poverty (Goal 1), combating hunger (Goal 2), empowering women (Goal 5), and promoting sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems (Goal 15). Enhancing public awareness of tea's importance for rural development and sustainable livelihoods is crucial to contributing to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
However, tea production faces significant challenges due to climate change, as it requires specific agro-ecological conditions. Changes in temperature and rainfall patterns affect tea yields, product quality, and prices, consequently impacting incomes and threatening rural livelihoods. Hence, there's an urgent need for tea-producing countries to integrate climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies into their national tea development plans.
