2013 World Tea Expo - Behind the Scenes

We used to have our own mini stage inside our Taiwan tea booth.  However, we decided to make some changes this year in attempt to have more engaging group-learning experiences for our attendees and friends.  Instead of having a stage to invite our friends to give tea talks, Sally and her team came up with a great floor plan of having a "tea class room" right in the center of our booth, to replace the mini stage.  We thought this change would help us more focus on tea education through advanced cupping sessions on Taiwan specialty teas. 

Unfortunately,  there were a few last minute changes for the exhibitors' assigned spaces and booth signs.  So there were a lot of on site moving to get the booths fixed.  This is a learning experience for us to be more careful before sending the job to sub.

Overall, we like this year's floor design; we had plenty of room for the tea cupping, tea baking and each exhibitor in Taiwan tea booth had a lot of space for displaying and tasting.  TTMA was also  serving four fine Taiwan teas: Pouchong, Oriental Beauty, Jade Oolong and Amber Oolong, during the show at the entrance of our booth.
