Themed “Dai Phuc – Lake on the Mountain, Tea in the Clouds”, the program featured an elaborate lineup of music and dance performances blending traditional and contemporary elements to celebrate the beauty of Thai Nguyen, its people, tea culture, and lakeside scenery.

A highlight was a tea-making performance showcasing the artistry of tea preparation and the refined traditions of Thai Nguyen tea culture.

At the event, the organizing committee presented awards to winners of the “Golden Hands in Tea Processing” competition, which honored skilled tea artisans with experience and dedication to their craft.

An auction of award-winning tea products helped raise the profile of distinctive local teas and the Dai Phuc tea brand as well as connected tea producers, customers and business partners.

The Thai Nguyen International Tea Festival, themed “Thai Nguyen–The Finest Tea”, runs from Oct. 30 until Nov. 7.
