[W]alking down the aisles of the World Tea Expo, you\u2019re immersed into a community of intensely passionate, knowledgeable, and ambitious tea experts from all over the world, sharing personal and professional stories over cups of the tea they build their lives around. From classes, lectures, and day-long workshops to tableside conversations at an exhibitor\u2019s booth, the World Tea Expo is a unique forum that brings together experts, business leaders, and fledgling entrepreneurs throughout the tea industry under one roof. This year\u2019s expo also featured a great new sustainability initiative: all attendees could pick up a complimentary reusable ceramic tea cup for tastings throughout the show floor, reducing the need for disposable sample cups. World Tea Expo 2020<\/a> will be held in Denver, Colorado.<\/p>\n
