The CEO of AquaBolg Mineral Water, Humul Khrusum Tahiru, a premium sachet water production company situated in Bolgatanga, the Upper East Regional Capital, believes that for society to thrive, members of society must be open to supporting and encouraging one another.
Madam Tahiru, a sponsor of A1 Radio’s International Tea Day event, revealed that she supported the program because of that idea.
“We shouldn’t hesitate to support one another. Sometimes, it is not even about the money. Sometimes it is about getting close to people and being accessible to them,” she said.
Madam Tahiru, impressed by the turnout at the event, said, “I am glad that it turned out the way it did. We didn’t expect that people would come out the way they did. We actually called very few people. If we had called more, I am sure we would have gotten more.”
Over the weekend, A1 Radio, a subsidiary of Agreed Best Communication Company, with sponsorship from AquaBolg Natural Mineral Water and Amazing Grace Bakery, held an event to celebrate International Tea Day.
The free event brought together ardent listeners of A1 Radio, who were served cups of tea along with bread and biscuits.
International Tea Day is honoured around the world, drawing attention to the cultural significance and economic influence of tea in many countries. This annual event honours tea’s rich history and different traditions, as well as its critical role in encouraging sustainable agriculture and supporting the livelihoods of millions of people.
Tea lovers and industry professionals alike celebrate International Tea Day by organising events, tastings, and educational activities to raise awareness about the art of tea cultivation, processing, and consumption. It provides a venue for people to appreciate different types of tea, including as black, green, white, oolong, and herbal infusions, by highlighting its distinct flavours, smells, and health benefits.
The global tea industry is a major contributor to local economies, providing employment opportunities for farmers, traders, and workers involved in tea production. International Tea Day serves as a reminder of the importance of sustainable tea farming practices, emphasising the need to protect natural resources, promote fair trade, and ensure the well-being of tea workers.
