Honouring women around the world, from crop to cup

"This year, International Tea Day highlights women and their role in the tea sector.

It is also an opportunity to celebrate the cultural heritage, health benefits and economic importance of tea, while working to make its production sustainable “from field to cup” ensuring its benefits for people, cultures and the environment continue for generations." - United Nations

Year of the Dragon

2024 is the Year of the Wood Dragon, beginning on February 10th, 2024 (Chinese New Year) and concluding on January 28th, 2025 (Chinese New Year's Eve).

In Chinese culture, the Dragon holds a significant place as an auspicious and extraordinary creature, unparalleled in talent and excellence. It symbolizes power, nobility, honor, luck, and success. 

As a symbol of joy, celebration, vitality, success and good fortune, red is the luckiest color in Chinese culture. It's famously used in important events such as weddings and festivals like Chinese New Year. You'll see everything from red lanterns lining the streets to red outfits and red letters pasted on doors

In honor of The Year of the Dragon, I've purchased a red shirt with dragons down the front!

Below are a selection of images taken on my November 2023 holiday to New York City; there were dragons everywhere!

Maybe they are sea monsters, but they look like dragons to me.
