A Vietnamese epitome in the International Tea Festival

The festival is set to showcase numerous elements of Vietnamese culture, including the unique traditions and customs that will be presented to international guests through various engaging activities.

Scheduled for November 14-18, 2025, the International Tea Festival will take place in Thai Nguyen City and the scenic Nui Coc Lake tourism zone. This year, the festival will host participants from over 10 countries, including leaders in the tea industry such as Pakistan and India, who will present their finest tea products and tea heritage to attendees. Vietnam, the host nation, will feature products from 50 villages and 30 tea producers across 30 districts.

As this is the first global tea festival organized in Vietnam, the hosts are diligently preparing to ensure it is a spectacular and unforgettable experience for all attendees involved in the international tea community.

Vietnamese organizers are prioritizing the representation of "Vietnamese features" to enhance the festival's appeal and richness. These features will highlight the nation's tea excellence, unique tea processing techniques, and various aspects of Vietnamese culture, including cuisine, tourism, and the arts. With numerous cultural activities planned, tea will represent only half of the festival's essence, while the other half will offer a vibrant display of Vietnam’s diverse culture through aesthetic and captivating events.

Visitors will have the chance to explore a special exhibition devoted to the 2000-year history and culture of Vietnam, as well as the distinct tea culture in the country, during the festival. Those interested in Vietnamese culinary traditions should not miss the traditional cuisine fair, where an array of specialty dishes from both Northern and Southern Vietnam will be prepared and served by gracious hosts.

For those looking to immerse themselves in the quintessential Vietnamese atmosphere, the street festival, along with traditional games such as human chess, martial arts performances, and boat racing, will be among the top attractions. Additionally, a Miss Tea competition will be held, showcasing the beauty and talents of women from various tea regions across Vietnam.

It is impossible to fully capture the excitement and vibrancy of this event, which will undoubtedly reflect the charm of Vietnamese culture. Recognizing that some tea enthusiasts may not be able to attend in person due to scheduling or financial constraints, VietnamOnline.com will feature special columns and video content to allow readers to experience the tea festival virtually.
