BEIJING, November 21 (Xinhua) — The 17th Taiwan Strait Tea Industry Fair concluded Thursday in Wuyishan, East China's Fujian Province, after five days. The Russian pavilion, set up for the first time at the fair, showcased herbal teas, handmade ceramics, Russian nesting dolls, and other products, proving very popular with visitors.
As reported on the website of the Zhongguo Xinwenshe news agency, the fair's organizers, in deepening trade cooperation with Russian cities located along the Great Tea Road—Kazan, St. Petersburg, and Kyakhta—specially invited Russian tea traders to participate in the fair, thus creating a dual platform of "tea trade and cultural mutual learning."
The Russian pavilion primarily featured flower teas, herbal teas, handcrafted ceramics, and other items, as well as cultural exhibitions and tea tastings. According to Dmitry, a 41-year-old Russian tea merchant who has been trading tea with China for many years, his products are very popular at the fair. Numerous Chinese tea companies have expressed a willingness to collaborate with him, and a significant portion of his products have already been ordered.
Alisa, a volunteer from Chita, Russia, brewed flower tea for visitors on site. During the event, visitors also had the opportunity to learn how to make Russian milk tea and experience firsthand the integration of Chinese and Russian tea cultures.
The 14,000-kilometer Great Tea Road, which originated in the 17th century, began in the Wuyi Mountains and reached St. Petersburg, crossing China, Mongolia, and Russia. This route became an important trade and economic corridor, connecting China and Russia, as well as Asia and Europe, following the ancient Silk Road. In recent years, this ancient trade route has been revitalized. Recently, China, Russia, and Mongolia signed a corresponding plan for cooperation in tourism.
