Thai Nguyen to host first int’l tea festival

The first international tea festival will be held in the northeastern province of Thai Nguyen from November 11-15, according to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

The festival aims to introduce and promote Vietnamese tea products in general and Thai Nguyen province’s products in particular to both international and local visitors. It will offer a chance for businesses to share experiences in tea growing and consumption, which will gradually improve the efficiency of production and business activities for Vietnam’s tea producing communities.

The event also aims to introduce the tea culture of Vietnamese people and attract new investors to promote cooperation and investment; especially in processing, developing tea trees and the consumption of tea products.

There will be a variety of activities at the festival including an international seminar on tea trees, an exhibition introducing Vietnam and its people, the tea culture festival and a beauty contest.

The event is co-organised by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Thai Nguyen People’s Committee.
