2025 Hong Kong International Tea Fair Concludes Successfully: Camellia Wisdom Wins Second Runner-Up in Black Tea Category and Shares Reflections with Tea Enthusiasts
The 2025 Hong Kong International Tea Fair concluded successfully on 16 August. This premier Asian tea industry event not only brought together tea culture enthusiasts from around the world, but also served as an exceptional stage for Camellia Wisdom to showcase the charm of Yunnan Imperial Tea. As an exhibitor, we were honoured to receive the Second Runner-Up award in the Black Tea Category at the 2025 Hong Kong International Tea Fair Fine Tea Competition. We also engaged in in-depth exchanges with many tea enthusiasts, savouring together the fragrance of Ink Rose Tea and the distinctive character of Yunnan Imperial Tea. Looking back on this tea fair journey, let us relive those unforgettable moments and reflections, and feel the warmth and joy that tea brings.
Camellia Wisdom's Moment of Glory: The Story Behind the Black Tea Category Second Runner-Up
At this year's Hong Kong International Tea Fair Fine Tea Competition, Teacher Li stood out with her exceptional brewing craftsmanship and premium Yunnan Imperial Tea, earning the Second Runner-Up award in the Black Tea Category. This honour not only affirms our unwavering commitment to tea quality, but also highlights the appeal of Yunnan Imperial Tea on the international stage. The judging panel praised the meticulous fermentation process of our black tea, which delivers a rich, smooth flavour and a lasting aged fragrance that lingers long after each sip.
As the Camellia Wisdom team, we witnessed first-hand the enthusiastic response from global buyers to Yunnan Imperial Tea throughout the fair. From the Sri Lanka pavilion to the distinctive tea regions of Fujian and Hunan, every corner was alive with the exchange and collision of tea cultures. The joy of winning Second Runner-Up has strengthened our conviction that Camellia Wisdom's Yunnan Imperial Tea is more than a beverage — it is a bridge that carries culture and nature forward. Going forward, we will continue to refine our craft and bring this sense of distinction and refinement to more tea lovers.
Warm Exchanges with Tea Enthusiasts: Savouring the Fragrance of Yunnan Imperial Tea and Ink Rose Tea
The tea fair is not only a trade platform — it is also a gathering place for tea lovers. At the Camellia Wisdom booth, we had the pleasure of engaging in in-depth conversations with tea enthusiasts from Hong Kong, mainland China, and overseas about the characteristics of Yunnan Imperial Tea. Sourced from the finest Pu-erh tea materials and crafted through a rigorous fermentation and processing method, Yunnan Imperial Tea delivers a distinctive aged fragrance and a smooth, refined taste. We shared its rich history — from an ancient imperial tribute tea to a modern wellness treasure — giving visitors a deeper appreciation of this remarkable tea.
Among the most memorable moments was sharing Ink Rose Tea with fellow tea enthusiasts. This innovative floral tea by Camellia Wisdom is crafted from edible rose buds unique to Yunnan, preserving their natural fragrance and wellness properties. During the tasting, visitors were captivated by its rich floral aroma and its calming, mood-lifting effect — one guest described it as "the romance of roses blooming in the tea liquor." We also discussed ways to incorporate Ink Rose Tea into everyday life, such as pairing it with desserts or enjoying it as a beauty and wellness tea. The atmosphere at the booth was warm and lively throughout.
We also revisited other star products featured at the fair, including the refreshing Jasmine White Tea and the warm, full-bodied Osmanthus Black Tea. These exchanges not only deepened visitors' understanding of Camellia Wisdom's products, but also provided us with invaluable feedback to guide future product refinement.
Reflections: Inspiration and Gratitude from the Tea Fair
The 2025 Hong Kong International Tea Fair gave the Camellia Wisdom team a profound appreciation of the inclusivity and charm of tea culture. From the busy preparations before the fair to the interactions with tea enthusiasts throughout, every moment was filled with meaningful takeaways. Winning Second Runner-Up in the Black Tea Category is a recognition of our efforts, and the conversations we shared with fellow tea lovers reminded us of tea's remarkable power to connect — no matter one's background, a good cup of tea can bring people closer together.
We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) for their excellent organisation, and to all the tea enthusiasts and buyers who visited our booth. Your warm support is the driving force behind Camellia Wisdom's journey forward. Through this fair, we not only expanded our business, but also deepened our commitment to sustainable tea practices, dedicated to bringing the natural beauty of Yunnan Imperial Tea to the world.
Looking Forward to Meeting Again Over Tea: Camellia Wisdom's Future Outlook
Although the 2025 Hong Kong International Tea Fair has drawn to a close, Camellia Wisdom's tea journey is only just beginning. We look forward to meeting everyone again over tea — perhaps at the next tea fair, or through our Shopify platform. Whether you are a tea culture enthusiast or a buyer seeking premium quality teas, Camellia Wisdom's Jasmine White Tea, Osmanthus Black Tea, and Ink Rose Tea are always ready to offer a feast for both the palate and the soul.
