5. Savour diverse tea cultures
International traditional artisans and innovative brands make up Tea Round 2025’s diverse offerings. South Korean boutique brand, OMOT, will highlight Korean teas that reflect the region’s unique terroir. Known for its intimate tea gatherings, OMOT delivers authentic flavors with aromatic complexity. On the other hand, Taiwan About Taiwan Tea will present exclusive wild-grown teas cultivated without pesticides, fertilisers, or irrigation.

6. Tea-related events and workshops
Among the tea-related workshops that you can participate in, the Fucheng Tea Sealing workshop is a must-try. Originating from Tainan, the Fucheng Tea Sealing Workshop is a traditional technique that seals tea leaves in jars with a written blessing or wish. The jars are left to age, where the tea will transform physically while preserving heartfelt intentions left by the sealer. On the other hand, the Tea Brewing Event features an outdoor circular tea table for intimate tea appreciation at Tea Round 2025. Hosted by international tea sommeliers, you can sample teas while learning tea-making techniques from experts. Other events and workshops of note include sharing sessions, tea tasting, a hand-painted porcelain workshop, and a tea competition.
7. “Pu’erh Corridor” exhibition
Here, you can explore vintage pu’erh tea collections from different eras through a time tunnel. Tea Round 2025 aims to engage tea lovers of all levels with this unique display while offering a deeper understanding of tea culture and craftsmanship.
8. Limited-edition exclusive tea tasting set
Tea Round 2025 will introduce a special Tea Tasting Set designed to enhance your tea-sampling experience. Priced at $50, the set includes a limited-edition white porcelain tea cup alongside one $20 tea voucher redeemable at stalls during Tea Round 2025.
