National Chinese Language Day
National Chinese Language Day
April 20th is National Chinese Language Day and we want to give a shoutout to our hard-working team. It is because of each of our staff members that we are able to open the doors each day to serve our community. Fun fact: Sumiao is supported by a government grant to offer employees free English classes. Every afternoon, a teacher comes to the restaurant (or via zoom during the pandemic) to teach. We’ve been doing this for three years now and even some of our English-speaking employees are learning Chinese. It’s great to see our employees correctly pronouncing our Chinese dishes and practicing with their coworkers.

Right after National Chinese Day comes National Tea Day on April 21st. Drinking tea is an ancient practice in China. Scholars believe people in the Yunnan Province in south China were the first to drink tea, which they considered a form of medicine. Once people started sipping brewed tea leaves, the practice spread across China and eventually across all of Asia. Today, 60 countries including the United States grow tea.
To celebrate National Tea Day on April 21st, consider sipping on one of our many teas from Numi and Tea Forte. We love the Green Mango Peach for a sweet pick-me-up and the Citrus Mint for something perfect for Spring.
