HKTDC Hong Kong International Tea Fair Hong Kong

The HKTDC Hong Kong International Tea Fair is a globally significant trade exhibition with a clear focus on the entire value chain of tea. Organized by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC)—Hong Kong’s leading trade promotion organization—the fair is held annually in late summer, usually in August, at the renowned Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) in the heart of the city. This event brings together professionals, traders, and tea enthusiasts from around the world.

The fair is distinguished by its holistic approach, integrating topics such as cultivation, processing, innovative technologies, sustainable packaging solutions, and the cultural presentation of tea enjoyment. Central themes include current industry trends, such as premium and functional teas—ranging from black and green teas to oolong, pu-erh, herbal, and instant teas, including decaffeinated varieties sourced from major growing regions in Asia and Africa. The offerings are complemented by high-quality tea accessories, innovative packaging, digital sourcing platforms, modern processing machinery, and laboratory services. Particular emphasis is placed on sustainability and organic production, from local organic teas and CO₂-reduced supply chains to biodegradable tea bags.

Closely linked with Hong Kong and China’s tea production, the fair highlights the region’s central role in the global tea industry. At the same time, it opens access to international markets and, through business-matching events and an internationally recognized tea competition, provides an exclusive platform for trade, innovation, and exchange. Highlights include the competition for the best teas in various categories, captivating tea art demonstrations, interactive tastings, and expert forums featuring speakers from around the world.

Exhibitors primarily come from tea cultivation, processing, packaging, and technology sectors, as well as from the food and bakery industries. The main visitors are wholesalers, importers, manufacturers, and suppliers from the international tea sector, though private tea enthusiasts and interested members of the public are also warmly welcomed.

With its modern infrastructure and excellent access to public transportation, the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre offers the ideal setting for the fair. The event not only provides comprehensive insights into the world of tea but also offers the opportunity to experience the vibrant atmosphere of one of Asia’s most exciting cities.

The HKTDC Hong Kong International Tea Fair will take place on 3 days from Thursday, 14. August to Saturday, 16. August 2025 in Hong Kong.
