The Origin of Xinyang Tea Festival

Xinyang Tea Festival originated from the ancient tea culture in China, which can be traced back to the Eastern Han Dynasty. According to records, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, tea trees flourished in Xinyang, and local residents made a living by picking and making tea. Later, the quality of Xinyang tea was gradually recognized and became a tribute of past dynasties. During the Song Dynasty, Xinyang reached its peak in tea production and quality, and was known as the "crown of three teas".

In order to inherit and popularize Xinyang tea culture, 1992, Xinyang municipal government decided to hold the first Xinyang tea festival as an opportunity to build a well-known tea culture brand. Since then, Xinyang Tea Festival has become an annual large-scale cultural activity, attracting tea culture lovers and tourists from all over the country.

The holding of Xinyang Tea Festival not only promoted the development of Xinyang tourism, but also promoted the development of local tea industry. After years of efforts, Xinyang's tea brand has gradually been recognized by the market and loved by consumers. At the same time, driven by Xinyang Tea Festival, more and more people began to understand and know Xinyang tea culture, which promoted the inheritance and innovation of Chinese traditional tea culture.
