Xiamen International Tea Fair 2026

China Xiamen International Tea Industry Fair 2026 (Spring Edition) is a professional B2B exhibition focused on the tea industry supply chain, held in Xiamen, China from April 17 to April 20, 2026. The event is presented as a combined platform that also incorporates tea packaging and design, enabling buyers to source both core tea products and the supporting product ecosystem needed for branding, retail presentation, and distribution. The published show information indicates an exhibition area of 63,000 square meters, supporting a large-scale sourcing environment for producers, traders, distributors, retailers, and institutional buyers. The fair is structured for trade visitors and offers a practical schedule for exhibitors, including booth installation prior to opening and dismantling after the final day, which is relevant for companies planning full product showcases and on-site business meetings. For buyers, the fair’s main value is efficient supplier comparison across multiple tea categories and adjacent segments, enabling negotiations on supply continuity, packaging requirements, and product positioning for domestic and export markets.

The exhibition focus covers a wide range of tea categories and related business segments that define the modern tea market. Core product scope includes green tea, black tea, white tea, oolong tea, dark tea, and yellow tea, enabling professional buyers to compare origins, processing styles, and product positioning across key mainstream categories. Alongside tea, the fair highlights teaware and tea culture products such as ceramics and porcelain items, glassware, bamboo and wood accessories, metal and lacquer products, and related tea utensils that support premium retail and gifting. An important part of the show is tea packaging and design, reflecting the increasing role of branding, materials, printing, and packaging engineering in market differentiation and export readiness. The show also covers tea appliances and operational accessories, as well as machinery and services linked to packaging, storage, inspection, and related production support, making the event relevant for both product sourcing and supply chain upgrading. The inclusion of tea space concepts, furniture, decoration, and full-case design aligns the fair with high-end retail formats and experiential tea consumption models.

Participants of the Spring edition typically include tea producers, processors, brand owners, packaging suppliers, teaware manufacturers, designers, and service providers supporting the tea industry. Professional visitors include importers and exporters, wholesalers, distributors, specialty retailers, e-commerce operators, hospitality procurement teams, and corporate buyers sourcing tea for gifting and business use. The event’s structure supports direct business exchange between suppliers and buyers, enabling sampling, specification discussions, packaging alignment, and negotiation of commercial terms. For exhibitors, the fair offers market access into the broader tea trading ecosystem centered around Xiamen and Fujian, while for buyers it provides a concentrated environment to qualify suppliers for repeat purchasing, private label cooperation, and differentiated product strategies.

Exhibited products span tea products across major categories, teaware and tea cultural goods, packaging materials and finished packaging solutions, as well as appliances and equipment used in tea preparation and retail operations. The packaging and design segment includes materials such as paper and plastic, bamboo and wood, metal, fabric, ceramics-related solutions, as well as design and printing services that support brand identity and compliance with market expectations. The machinery and support segment is positioned to cover packaging and processing-related solutions including storage, inspection, and other production support technologies, enabling buyers to evaluate not only product presentation but also operational readiness and scalability. This product breadth makes the fair suitable for buyers building complete tea product lines, from raw product sourcing to retail-ready packaging and presentation formats.

The 2026 Spring edition is held in Xiamen, China, a city with established trade connectivity and strong relevance to tea commerce and distribution. The venue supports a large exhibition footprint and structured visitor and exhibitor services, enabling efficient navigation across product segments and facilitating business meetings on-site. For international and domestic buyers, Xiamen provides a practical base for sourcing missions, allowing fair attendance to be combined with supplier visits and regional supply chain coordination, especially for companies working with Fujian and adjacent tea-producing regions.

The event is presented as part of an established series of tea trade exhibitions, supported by a professional organizer structure that provides exhibitor services, visitor registration, and a standardized operational schedule. Organizer capability is reflected in the show’s integrated scope that combines tea products with packaging design and supporting segments, enabling a complete sourcing environment for buyers and a broader commercial exposure framework for exhibitors. For participants, the organizer’s role is practically important because it influences the quality of visitor composition, the efficiency of on-site business exchange, and the continuity of the exhibition as a recurring industry platform.
