Wave 2 for Amsterdam Tea Festival 2027 exhibitors is now still ongoing 🍵

If you’ve been thinking about joining us this January, this is the moment to secure your place while the current exhibitor rate is still available.

Our exhibitor pricing works in booking waves. Each wave keeps stand prices fixed for a certain period, and once that period ends, registration stays open — but the price moves to the next rate.

Wave 2 closes on 10 November at 23:59 CEST.

After that:

Wave 3
11 November, 00:00 CEST — 10 January, 23:59 CET

Wave 4
11 January — 20 January, 23:59 CET

Applications remain open until 20 January 2027, subject to availability.

A small but important reminder: submitting an application does not yet confirm your participation. Once your application has been approved, your place is secured after payment is completed. The earlier you complete your booking, the lower the stand rate you can secure.

To register:

1. Go to amsterdamteafestival.com
2. Create your account
3. Complete your participation details
4. Select your preferred stand option and submit your application
5. Once approved, enter your exhibitor dashboard and complete payment
6. Finish your marketing information so we can start preparing your festival presence

Amsterdam Tea Festival brings together tea brands, producers, ceramics, teaware, food, design, workshops, tastings and people shaping contemporary tea culture.

If your work belongs somewhere in that world, we’d love to meet you in Amsterdam. 🤍

Meet one of the ceramics exhibitors of Amsterdam Tea Festival 2027: JL Ceramics. 🤍

JL Ceramics JL Ceramics | Handmade Ceramics creates handmade ceramic drinkware and tableware, bringing together traditional ceramic craftsmanship and a contemporary design language.

The studio began from a desire to combine a background in graphic design with a love for ceramics. That combination still shapes the work today: age-old ceramic techniques are approached through modern forms, carefully carved textures, and thoughtfully developed glaze combinations, resulting in pieces that feel functional, tactile, and individual.

At the centre of JL Ceramics is also the idea of slowing down. Their objects are made to become part of everyday rituals — pieces you reach for regularly, use over time, and gradually build a relationship with rather than simply display.

For Amsterdam Tea Festival, JL Ceramics will bring a carefully curated selection of teaware, including gaiwans, kyusu, chawans, teacups, and other functional ceramic pieces created to accompany different ways of preparing and drinking tea.

Visitors will be able to discover the collection in person, look closely at the forms and surfaces, hear more about the making process, and find pieces that connect traditional ceramic techniques with a distinctly contemporary approach.

What we especially like about their work is that the focus is not only on how an object looks, but on how it feels to use it. The weight of a cup, the texture of a glaze, the shape in your hands — small details that can completely change an everyday tea moment.

Whether you already have a favourite teaware collection or are only beginning to explore ceramics for tea, their stand will be a beautiful place to discover the relationship between clay, function, design, and ritual.

We’re very happy to welcome JL Ceramics to Amsterdam Tea Festival 2027 and to bring their perspective on contemporary craftsmanship into our Tea Journey.

What are you looking for in a cup of tea?

A tea festival makes this surprisingly visible.

Some people come with strong red energy — focused, curious, decisive. They know what they want to taste, compare producers, ask direct questions and often gravitate towards teas with depth and structure: roasted oolongs, Wuyi teas, aged Pu-erh.

The yellow tea people follow curiosity. They stop because something smells good, because a story catches their attention, because someone at the table starts talking to them. They taste widely, meet people easily and often discover their favourite tea by accident. Floral oolongs, expressive aromatics and unexpected blends suit that energy.

The green personalities are the ones who stay. They find a table they like, sit down, pour another infusion and let the conversation continue. Tea is as much about the feeling around the cup as the cup itself. Soft white teas, gentle oolongs and slower sessions fit naturally here.

And then there are the blue tea people. Cultivar? Harvest? Altitude? Processing? Water temperature? Why does infusion three taste different from infusion two? For them, understanding the details is part of the pleasure. Single-origin teas, comparative tastings and Sheng Pu-erh give them plenty to explore.

Of course, most of us are a mix.

And that is one of our favourite things about tea: different ages, cultures, languages and levels of knowledge can all meet around the same table, while everyone is looking for something slightly different.

Maybe your tea personality is not about which tea you should drink, but about what you are looking for when you reach for a cup.

So who do you think are you — red, yellow, green or blue? Or a mix? 🍵

If tea could tell stories, what would it tell us?

Probably much more than tasting notes.

A tea can carry the landscape where it grew, the way its leaves were processed, the people who learned to make it, and sometimes even a legend that has travelled alongside its name for generations.

In this carousel, we follow tea through very different places and styles — from the rocky Wuyi Mountains and the gardens around Hangzhou, to Taiwan’s mountain tea culture, shaded fields in Japan and the misty highlands of northern Vietnam.

Da Hong Pao carries the famous story of the “Big Red Robe.” Longjing is shaped by pan-firing and the landscape around Hangzhou. Tieguanyin can move from bright and floral to deeper roasted styles depending on how it is made. Lapsang Souchong is closely associated with the Wuyi region and traditional pine-smoked processing, while Sheng Pu-erh continues to develop long after the leaves have first been made.

Then the journey moves further: D**g Ding and GABA Oolong show two very different sides of Taiwanese tea making, Gyokuro gets its distinctive character from shading before harvest, and the old tea trees of northern Vietnam tell another mountain story entirely.

And that is what makes tea so fascinating to us. Two leaves from the same plant can become completely different experiences because of place, season, cultivar, processing, craft and time.

So instead of only asking “What does this tea taste like?”, we also like asking:

Where did it come from?
How was it made?
And what story travelled with it into our cup?

Save this post for your next tea session — and tell us which tea story you would like us to explore next. 🤍

Meet one of the exhibitors of Amsterdam Tea Festival 2027: Naomi Petersen / NPC Ceramics 🤍

Naomi Naomi Petersen Ceramics creates handmade ceramic teaware in Amsterdam, including teapots, tea cups, bowls and other one-of-a-kind pieces inspired by nature, imagination and a little bit of magic.

For Naomi, tea has always been something personal. Her father introduced her to good tea and tisanes, and sharing a cup together as a way to slow down is still a ritual they keep when she visits home. He is also a maker himself — and Naomi believes some of her love for creating things may have started there too.

After working in nonprofit communications, she decided to move in a completely different direction and found herself, as she describes it, “elbow-deep in mud.” Today, her mission is simple: to bring joy through ceramic art that can be touched, used and lived with.

Teapots are especially close to her heart. They are one of the most technically challenging ceramic objects to make, but also an opportunity to play with form, colour and character. For Naomi, a teapot should not only look beautiful — it should pour well and become something you genuinely enjoy using.

At the festival, visitors will discover handmade teapots, cups, bowls and other functional pieces, each made locally in Amsterdam and designed to bring something unexpected to the tea table.

As Naomi says:

“I want to bring beauty, joy, and something you’ve never seen before to everyone’s tea time.”

We are very happy to welcome Naomi to Amsterdam Tea Festival 2027 and look forward to sharing her colourful world of ceramics with you.

Only 12 days left to get your Amsterdam Tea Festival 2027 ticket at the best price 🤍

And if you’re wondering what one full day at the festival can actually look like — it goes much further than simply walking from stand to stand and tasting tea.

On 30 January, Kromhouthal becomes a meeting place for tea, culture, art, food, craft and people from different parts of the tea world.

You’ll be able to sit down for panel talks with producers, entrepreneurs, community builders and tea professionals, exploring subjects around tea culture, history, business and where the industry is moving next.

There will be workshops and interactive sessions where you can experience tea in completely different ways — from Gongfu tea and blind tastings to Korean tea, cultural practices, creative workshops and more.

We’re also bringing the artistic side of tea into the festival through our Art Expo and Ceramic Expo, with artists and ceramicists whose work connects naturally to tea, ritual, objects and culture.

Throughout the day, expect cultural performances, food from different traditions and tea-inspired creations, as well as spaces where you can simply slow down. In our Chill Zone, you can join spontaneous tea sessions, meet other tea people or sit down for a game of mahjong — even if you have never played before.

Tea Lover ticket holders will also have access to a special tasting with Sergey Shevelev, founder of Amsterdam Tea Festival, featuring teas from his rare personal collection and the stories behind them.

The idea is simple: come curious and spend the day following the Tea Journey in your own way. Taste something unfamiliar, learn something you didn’t expect, find a ceramic piece you love, join a conversation, watch a performance, stay for tea with someone you just met.

Meet one of the exhibitors of Amsterdam Tea Festival 2027: Serenitea 🤍

Serenitea Serenitea | Boekweitthee | Soba thee 🌾 is introducing roasted buckwheat tea to the Netherlands — a naturally caffeine-free infusion made from roasted buckwheat seeds, known for its warm, toasted character.

The idea for Serenitea began after its founder discovered roasted buckwheat tea while travelling and gradually made it part of their own daily routine. After returning to the Netherlands, they realised how difficult it was to find here, and the idea of creating a brand around it stayed with them.

Today, Serenitea’s mission is to make buckwheat tea a more familiar choice across the Netherlands and Europe, while keeping the product itself beautifully simple.

At the festival, visitors will be invited to taste roasted buckwheat tea, learn more about how it is prepared, and discover its naturally comforting flavour with notes that can remind you of toasted grains, warm biscuits and caramel.

For Serenitea, it is also about introducing people to something they may not have expected to find at a tea festival — a new category, a new taste, and perhaps a new everyday ritual.

As Serenitea says:

“We believe the best products don’t need long ingredient lists or exaggerated claims — they simply need to taste amazing.”

We are very happy to welcome Serenitea to Amsterdam Tea Festival 2027 and look forward to sharing their story and roasted buckwheat tea with you.

How Tea Became Part of the Way We Live

Before tea bags, takeaway cups and supermarket shelves, tea already carried many different roles.

In China, some of its early history is connected to medicinal use. Over time, tea also became part of everyday life and something people drank for pleasure. By the Tang dynasty, it had already developed into a culture of its own, with knowledge around growing, preparing, tasting and sharing it.

Tea was never only about what was inside the cup. It welcomed guests, created a reason to sit down, and became part of homes, teahouses, temples, ceremonies and family gatherings.

As tea travelled, different places built their own relationships with it.

In Japan, tea arrived through connections with China and Buddhist monks, and later became deeply connected to chanoyu, where preparation, objects, space and attention became part of the experience itself.

In Europe, tea first appeared as an expensive imported luxury before gradually becoming part of everyday homes and social rituals.

That is what makes tea so interesting to us: the same leaf can carry very different meanings depending on where you are and who is preparing it.

Today, tea can be the cup you make before work, something familiar from childhood, or something shared with a friend. For others, it becomes a world to explore through origins, harvests, cultivars, teaware, processing and brewing.

You might begin because you like the taste, then become curious about where the leaves came from, who made them, or why a certain teapot or brewing method is used.

Perhaps this is why tea has stayed with us for so long. The way we drink it keeps changing, but the human part remains familiar: someone prepares it, someone receives it, and people spend a little time together.

This is also the idea behind our Tea Journey — exploring tea through its origins, cultures, craft, objects, traditions and people.
