Tea producers and distributors want to turn the page on COVID 19, which has affected them all painfully. AVPA must be by their side by immediately resuming organizing its 4th "Teas of the World" International Contest which will confirm the success of previous editions.

The “Teas of the World” international contest is organized in two very distinct parts:

I-Monovarietal teas(camelia sinensis and camelia assamica) which jury is chaired by

Lydia Gautier, International Expert, and recognized Tea Editor.

II-Infusions(infusion plants other than camellia sinensis and camelia assamica), blends and flavored teas, which jury is chaired by

Carine Baudry, Expert in sensory analysis and founder of Quintessence.

The AVPA international contest objective is to promote the recognition of exceptional producers by focusing primarily on organoleptic aspects.  All this according to a jury of tea professionals, who classifies the samples, eliminates what must be and submits its selection to a jury of fine tasters and enlightened amateurs where the Gourmet medals are awarded.

Registration formsand samples are expected on or beforeAugust 31st 2021, at the AVPA headquarters in Paris.

The entire AVPA team and in particular Ksenia Hleap (ksenia.hleap@avpa.fr) in charge of this project remain at your disposal to answer any questions you wish to ask us.
