National Tea Day was observed for the first time in the country yesterday.

This decision was taken at a cabinet meeting to commemorate the contribution of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman to the tea industry on the occasion of his birth centenary, said Commerce Minister Tipu Munshi at a virtual briefing from his office in secretariat on Wednesday.

On this day, Bangabandhu became the first Bengali chairman of the Tea Board and he served the board from June 4 in 1957 to October 23 in 1958, the minister said.

"So, the first National Tea Day is being celebrated on June 4," he added.
