Cora Is Visiting the 2026 Xiamen International Tea Fair 🍵

Cora will be visiting the 2026 China Xiamen International Tea Industry Fair, Autumn Edition, giving us a chance to see one of China’s major tea exhibitions from inside the show.

The event will be held October 15–19, 2026 at the Xiamen International Conference & Exhibition Center in Xiamen, Fujian, China.

What Is the Xiamen International Tea Fair?

The Xiamen International Tea Fair is designed as much more than a place to display tea. Organizers describe the exhibition as a platform connecting tea producers, brands, buyers, teaware makers, packaging companies, designers, retailers, and international markets.

The 2026 autumn exhibition will cover approximately 80,000 square meters and use 10 exhibition halls, including halls A1–A8 and B1–B2.

The exhibition areas include:

• Brand tea companies
• Tea and tea products
• Teaware and ceramics
• Tea packaging and design
• Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan exhibitors
• International exhibitors

Tea, Teaware, Design and More

One of the goals of the 2026 fair is to bring different parts of the tea industry together in one place.

Visitors can expect to see the six major categories of Chinese tea alongside new tea products, specialty teas, teaware, tea accessories, gift sets, packaging machinery, creative packaging and design, and products focused on tea-space aesthetics.

Rather than separating tea, ceramics, packaging and retail, the exhibition is being organized around the idea that all of these areas work together as part of the modern tea industry.

A Major Buying and Sourcing Event

The fair is also an important sourcing event for businesses and professional buyers.

According to the event organizers, the 2026 exhibition is expected to bring together more than 1,500 quality suppliers and source manufacturers, presenting more than 10,000 new industry products and a large selection of popular and established products.

The exhibition is designed to connect buyers with suppliers throughout the production chain, from tea and teaware to packaging, customization, retail products and international trade.

Connecting Chinese Tea With the World

International trade is another major focus of the fair.

The organizers describe the goal as helping tea companies move beyond simply exporting products and toward building brands with a global presence.

International buyers attend the exhibition to meet producers, discover products and establish relationships with Chinese tea companies. For Chinese brands, it provides an opportunity to learn about overseas markets, international design expectations and global consumer demand.

The Tea Industry Is Changing

The fair’s 2026 theme also reflects changes happening throughout the tea industry.

Organizers point to increasingly specialized consumer tastes, changing sales channels and a more global tea market. For producers, the questions are no longer simply whether they can make a product, but whether they can build a recognizable brand, reach international markets and create sustainable long-term growth.

The exhibition is being positioned as a place where producers, designers, buyers and sellers can see emerging trends and build relationships that continue after the five-day event ends.

Cora Will Be Exploring the Fair

Cora will be visiting the exhibition and keeping an eye out for the things tea lovers are especially curious about, including tea, teaware, ceramics, makers, packaging, interesting new products and anything unusual she discovers along the way.

With ten exhibition halls to explore, she may need very comfortable shoes. 😂🍵
