The History and Origin of National Iced Tea Day: In 1904, English tea plantation owner Richard Blechynden set up a booth to sell hot tea at the St. Louis World Fair. It was a sizzler of a day, and fair visitors didn't want anything hot. Rather, they needed something to quench their thirst... something cold. He dumped some of his hot tea into ice and served it cold. It was an immediate hit. This was the first known use of iced tea. Recognizing that this day is in honor of an Englishman, if it is a "National" day, it is an English one. We did not find any government proclamation or British act of parliament declaring this a national day.
