International Tea Carnival – The 2nd Annual International Tea Conference (Yibin. China)

The 2nd Annual International Tea Conference was held in Yibin, Sichuan Province from March 17 to 19, which attracted many tea experts from Britain, Germany, Canada, France, Malaysia and so on gathering in Yibin.

In March, tea buds are sprouting in the “creamlike” spring rain, which also makes Yibin City busier. Yibin, located on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, is an important dak of Tea Horse Road and is also one of the birthplaces of world teas. Yibin is not only celebrated for its fine liquor, but also an important base for green tea production and processing.

The three-day Yibin 2nd Annual International Tea Conference was held on March 17, 2018, which attracted many Britain, Canada, Germany and other countries’ tea experts and tea lovers.

The traditions and habits of drinking tea in different countries are not consistent, but there is one thing in common, that is, the tea culture gathers the people who speak the different languages and have the different backgrounds into the large family for tea lovers.
