Opening Evening of the 2025 Paris Tea Festival: A Summer Gathering Around Tea

On June 13th, the AVPA had the honor of hosting the opening evening of the Paris Tea Festival 2025 at its Paris headquarters. As a committed partner in promoting high-quality products, it was only natural for our association to support this event dedicated to the world of tea.

This warm summer evening brought together 80 guests, including industry professionals, informed enthusiasts, and tea lovers, who came to celebrate the festival's opening in a convivial and refined atmosphere.

The evening began with a welcome speech from Philippe Juglar, President of AVPA.

Guests were then treated to a tasting of exceptional teas from various regions of the world, carefully selected to highlight the diversity of tea terroirs. These teas were beautifully paired with aged cheeses and a refined seasonal menu created by Virginie Legrand, a dedicated and talented chef.

The experience was enhanced by the refreshing elegance of champagne from Maison Palmer & Co.

Between tastings, conversations, and flavor discoveries, this opening night proved to be a perfect opportunity for networking and forging new synergies, all centered around a shared passion: tea.
