Introduction:World Tea Day was initiated from 2005 among world tea production countries. Through 12 years of efforts, more than 45 countries from all over the world now participated in the World Tea Day events. The slogan initiated by World Tea Organization for World Tea Day is “Enjoy Tea” which means “Enjoy Tea, Enjoy Life, Enjoy the Moment”. It is adopted from Buddha Zhaozhou (778–897) of Chinese Tang Dynasty who lived 120 years. The activities of World Tea Day include: My Love Tea Ceremony; Respect the Elderly Tea Fest; Tea and Love Movie Fest; World Tea Day lectures etc. My Love Tea Ceremony is a tea ceremony which expresses love through a cup of tea. People sit in a circle, prepare and serve tea to those who sit next to them and forms a directional flow of love by serving tea. My Love Tea Ceremony shows all participants that “The World is one, I love everyone, everyone loves me”. This event had been introduced to and supported by (former) UN Secretary General, US Presidents etc.

At Harvard University and MIT, in front of Harvard statue, Harvard Square and MIT campus where tea-tables are set-up with good famous teas from China and the world. People gathered and sit around tables, under the guidance of Dr. Tea etc. Rather than serving themselves or by Dr. Tea, people serve the ones right besides them. By doing this, love moves on and ultimately everyone who served others was rewarded with a cup of tea with love and gratitude, people began to understand the meaning of Dao and Tea is love, and understand that “the World is one, I love everyone, and everyone loves me”. Therefore it is named as Mylovetea Ceremony that is expressing love through a cup of tea.
