A grand tea fair opened on Friday, November 6, at the China National Convention Center in Beijing. The bustling event features over 20 cultural activities, including elegant teaware, centuries-old tribute tea heritage, and hands-on tea-related lifestyle experiences. A highlight is the "medicine-food homology" premium exhibition area, where authentic herbs and innovative products – such as dried tangerine peel (chen pi), Jiuhua polygonatum and Huoshan dendrobium – are on display. Visitors can sample teas while learning about herbal combinations, brewing methods, and daily wellness practices, bringing health concepts into everyday life.
