International Tea Exhibition Beijing 2025

The Beijing Tea Exhibition 2025 was a vibrant celebration of tea culture, uniting a diverse community of tea enthusiasts and industry professionals. 

In early Spring, I was in Beijing to participate in a few informative conferences in the city center. On one weekend, I also headed toward the Tea Exhibition located in the Agriculture Exhibition Center. 

The event brought together tea enthusiasts, producers, and industry professionals to celebrate the rich culture and heritage of tea. The event showcased a wide variety of teas, tea-related products, and services in the industry. 

Key Highlights of the Tea Exhibition:

Diverse Tea Varieties: Exhibitors presented a vast selection of teas, including green, black, oolong, and herbal teas from various regions of China and around the world. The staff in the different booths were very friendly; they were prepared with tea samples and had guests tasting their small cups of tea. The prices of tea vary; some of them were actually very expensive. 

Tea Classification by Manufacturing Process: The most important classification is based on the manufacturing process, which results in three main categories:

Fermented (black) tea: The most common type, often made from Assam or hybrid plants. The infused leaf is bright red or copper-colored, and the liquor is bright red and slightly astringent with a characteristic aroma.

Unfermented (green) tea: It's usually produced from the China plant and grown mostly in Japan, China, and to some extent, Malaysia and Indonesia. The infused leaf is green, and the liquor is mild, pale green or lemon-yellow, and slightly bitter.

Semifermented (oolong) tea: It's produced mostly in southern China and Taiwan from a special variety of the China plant. The liquor is pale or yellow, like green tea, and has a unique malty or smoky flavor.

Workshops and Tastings: Attendees participated in hands-on workshops that focused on tea brewing techniques, tasting sessions, and the art of tea pairing with food.

Cultural Performances:

Traditional performances, including tea ceremonies, traditional music, and cultural dances, highlighted the historical significance of tea in Asian culture.

The Beijing Tea Exhibition 2025 was a vibrant celebration of tea culture, uniting a diverse community of tea enthusiasts and industry professionals. Some exhibitors emphasized sustainable practices in tea cultivation and production, showcasing organic and ethically sourced teas. Participants left with a deeper appreciation for tea's freshness and cultural heritage, as well as valuable connections within the industry.
