But it was more than just pretty gift boxes (though there were plenty!) 🛍️. The expo spotlighted tea producers from China's rural heartlands, fueling local economies and giving small-scale farmers a global stage. Through special pavilions, interactive tastings, and cultural demos, visitors savored teas straight from villages eager to share their stories.
