China Xiamen International Tea Fair Xiamen

The China Xiamen International Tea Fair is one of the world’s leading trade fairs for the tea industry, serving as a key platform for innovation, commerce and cultural exchange centred on tea.

The event takes place at the Xiamen International Conference & Exhibition Center, one of the largest and most technologically advanced exhibition venues in Southeast China. It is hosted in the coastal city of Xiamen, an ideal location thanks to its historical significance in the global tea trade and its position within the renowned tea-growing region of Fujian. Since its inception in 2010, the fair has been organised by Xiamen Jinhongxin Exhibition Co., Ltd., an experienced organiser specialising in international trade exhibitions.

Held twice a year, typically in spring and autumn, the China Xiamen International Tea Fair consistently reflects the latest industry trends, innovations and market developments. It covers the full spectrum of the tea sector—from traditional and contemporary tea products to machinery, packaging solutions, tea culture, design and tourism. Particularly notable is the breadth of products on display, ranging from premium green, black, white and oolong teas to rare specialities such as Tie Guan Yin and Da Hong Pao. The offering is complemented by tea ware made from ceramics, glass and bamboo, innovative accessories, and advanced machinery for processing, packaging and quality control.

A key strength of the fair lies in its clear structure and thematic organisation. Distinct exhibition zones provide focused orientation while creating space for innovation, including new tea beverages, sustainable packaging concepts and holistic design solutions related to tea. At the same time, the fair serves as a cultural platform where traditional Chinese tea artistry meets contemporary interpretations.

Exhibitors represent the entire tea value chain, including tea producers, machinery manufacturers, packaging companies, designers, and providers in tea tourism and lifestyle sectors. The visitor profile is equally diverse: buyers, importers, wholesalers, hospitality professionals, brand developers and investors all attend with a view to business development, market intelligence and networking.

The fair’s close ties to the Fujian region lend it a strong sense of authenticity, as tea has been produced, traded and culturally embedded here for centuries. This heritage, combined with modern infrastructure and an international outlook, makes the event truly distinctive. With excellent transport links—including an international airport, high-speed rail connections and well-developed urban infrastructure—the venue is easily accessible for international visitors while offering an attractive setting on China’s southeast coast.

The China Xiamen International Tea Fair will take place on 4 days from Friday, 17. April to Monday, 20. April 2026 in Xiamen.
