Move over, coffee culture —this week in Beijing, tea is stealing the spotlight! The ongoing Tea Expo isn’t just about sipping premium leaves—it’s a full-blown celebration of tradition, skill, and the intangible cultural heritage behind every cup.
Kicking off Friday with vibrant energy, the event coincides with Grain Rain, the final solar term of spring , symbolizing renewal. "This expo is a cultural crossover," said Zhai Huqu, Honorary President of the China Association for the Promotion of International Agricultural Cooperation. "It’s about honoring the craftsmanship that turns tea into art."
Visitors witnessed West Lake Longjing tea masters in action, dazzling crowds with techniques perfected over centuries—from leaf selection to the rhythmic pour of hot water. Known for its emerald-green hue and sweet aroma, this tea is a national favorite, and its live demos were pure poetry in motion.
Think tea is just a drink? Think again. This expo blends history, sustainability, and artistry—a brew worth savoring.
