Move over, coffee shops – Beijing’s Chaoyang Park just became the hottest spot for tea enthusiasts! The 2024 Beijing Chaoyang International Tea Culture Festival kicked off on May 16, blending ancient traditions with modern vibes. Over 400 guests sipped, learned, and celebrated tea’s global journey at the lush lakeside venue.
From artisanal oolong tastings to #TeaTok-worthy brewing workshops, the festival showcased everything from ceremonial matcha whisking to fusion tea cocktails (yes, really 🍹). A festival organizer told us: \"This is where Gen Z meets grandma’s favorite pastime – and they’re both loving it.\"
Pro tip for travelers: Don’t miss the nightly tea-themed light shows reflecting on the park’s lake – it’s like Instagram’s ‘nature filter’ IRL. With Beijing positioning itself as a cultural bridge, this fest proves tea isn’t just a drink – it’s a universal language ☮️✨.
