More than 200 diplomats, UN officials and guests gathered at the United Nations headquarters in New York on May 21 to celebrate International Tea Day.

The event was hosted by the Permanent Mission of China to the United Nations and the Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of East China's Zhejiang province.

Guests tasted tea, explored Chinese tea culture, and praised tea as a symbol of cultural exchange, sustainability and shared development.
