This afternoon, the 16th "National Tea Drinking Day" event in Huzhou City was held at the Municipal Olympic Sports Center. Tea enthusiasts, tea enterprise representatives, and citizens from all walks of life participated and immersed themselves in this tea culture feast together.
This event is hosted by Huzhou Luyu Tea Culture Research Association and organized by Zhejiang University Huzhou Tea Industry Alliance and other units. The atmosphere at the event was warm and peaceful. With the theme of "Creating a City of Tea Life Quality - Tea Makes Life Better", the entire venue is filled with the fresh aroma of tea. The event emphasized the significant achievements of Huzhou, as the source of famous tea and a major tea producing city, in the coordinated development of the "three teas". It is hoped that through the "National Tea Drinking Day", the popularity and influence of Huzhou as the "hometown of tea classics" and the source of tea ceremony will be continuously expanded, so that more people can know and love lake tea, enjoy the fragrance and charm of tea together, and share a better life.
At the event, local specialty teas such as Anji White Tea, Changxing Purple Bamboo Shoots, and Shucheng Yuya were showcased one after another. In addition to the tea tasting session, there was also a promotion of tea tourism integration, speeches by representatives of new tea drinking and food enterprises, and the establishment of the Huzhou Tea Derivative Products Market.
The representative of the exhibiting company, Guan Jueshan, told reporters, "We participate in the 'National Tea Drinking Day' activity every year. Compared with previous years, the biggest change this year is that there are more innovative products, tea derivatives, and new tea drinks. In recent years, China's new tea drinks have continued to grow, and our company is actively embracing new tea drinks and innovating to develop tea products that meet the tastes of young people
Citizen Ye Lingyan told reporters, "I haven't participated in this activity before. It's very good to let everyone know about the local tea in Huzhou, learn about tea art, and enjoy talent performances
It is understood that in recent years, Huzhou has been committed to coordinating the development of tea culture, tea industry, and tea technology. Last year, the total output value of tea in the city exceeded 6.6 billion yuan, with an average output value of over 15000 yuan per mu, ranking first in the province for ten consecutive years. The "Ecological Huzhou" - "Tea Saint" cultural tour was listed as one of the top ten tea tourism routes in the province in 2025, truly making the tea industry the "golden key" to rural revitalization and the "golden leaf" for green development. Especially in Huangdu Village, over the past six years, more than 40 million tea seedlings have been donated to five counties in Hunan, Sichuan, and Guizhou provinces, turning the "prosperity seedlings" into a "common prosperity tree" that connects the east and west.
Huzhou continues to hold the "National Tea Drinking Day", hoping to further promote the concept of tea drinking and healthy drinking for all through this tea feast, continuously expand the popularity and influence of Huzhou's "hometown of tea classics" and "source of tea ceremony", let more people know and love lake tea, share the fragrance and charm of tea, and enjoy a better life together.
