While the Jiangnan region has long been celebrated as the cradle of China's refined tea culture, Northeast China is now emerging as fertile ground for tea market development. The upcoming Changchun International Tea Industry Expo (TEAEXPO) in 2025 presents a strategic opportunity for tea enterprises to establish their presence in this promising region.
Northeast China: A Blue Ocean for Tea Market Growth
Despite not being a tea-producing region, Northeast China demonstrates significant consumption potential. Rising living standards and growing health consciousness have increased demand for tea as a wellness beverage among local consumers. However, the market currently faces challenges including limited product variety, low brand recognition, and underdeveloped distribution channels. The Changchun International Tea Industry Expo aims to address these bottlenecks and revitalize the regional tea market.

Guided by principles of openness, progress, innovation, and excellence, the event will address contemporary industry needs while advancing tea-themed exhibitions. The program will feature discussions among industry experts, scholars, and business leaders about market trends, opportunities, and challenges facing the tea sector.
