Sri Lanka’s Embassy in Iran, in collaboration with the Sri Lanka Tea Board, organised a Ceylon Tea promotional programme at the 10th International Exhibition of Drinks, Tea, Coffee and Related Industries (DRINKTECH-2023) held at the Tehran International Fairground recently. The key features of the DRINKTECH-2023 included a tea-tasting session, one-to-one meetings with a number of prominent tea importers and buyers, discussions with key representatives of the Iran Tea Association and a media briefing session. The exhibition is the biggest event in production, supply and services related to hot and cold beverages in Iran.
During the four-day event, Sri Lanka’s Embassy displayed Ceylon tea export products together with information on varieties and quality of Ceylon Tea at the Ceylon Tea pavilion. A short film on ‘Ceylon tea industry’, prepared by the Sri Lanka Tea Board, was also screened. More than 250 exhibitors, around 15,000 trade representatives and over 100,000 visitors attended the event.
