TEETAO at Helsinki Coffee Festival 2025 — A Heartwarming Success at Booth #28

Written By Chan Cecilia

We’re thrilled to share that TEETAO’s very first appearance at the Helsinki Coffee Festival — held from April 25 to April 27 at Kaapelitehdas — was a wonderful success! Throughout the weekend, our booth #28 was filled with tea lovers, curious newcomers, and old friends, all eager to discover the beauty of handcrafted tea in a space traditionally devoted to coffee.

From the moment the festival doors opened, our table welcomed a steady stream of guests who stopped to sip, chat, and take part in our unique activities. The energy was vibrant, and the appreciation for fine tea was truly inspiring.

Tea Tasting Highlights – Award-Winning and Handpicked Teas

One of the most celebrated parts of the booth was our curated tea tasting, where visitors sampled some of our finest, award-winning selections:

  • 🥉 Golden Monkey King – 3rd Prize, Best Black Tea 2025

  • 🥈 Osmanthus Oolong – 2nd Prize, Best Flavored Tea 2025

  • Plus: Magnolia Flower Tea, White Silver Needle, Oriental Beauty, and other beloved brews

Each tea was served with care, accompanied by stories about their origin, flavor profiles, and brewing methods. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive — many guests expressed surprise at the elegance and complexity of what tea can offer.

The interactive moment brought laughter and delight to guests of all ages.

With Gratitude to Our Team

Behind every meaningful moment were the warm and dedicated efforts of our team members, Anna and Fanny, who made this experience come alive.
From setting up the tasting station to sharing tea knowledge and welcoming each guest with sincerity, they were the heart of our booth. We’re endlessly thankful for their hard work and bright presence.

This festival was more than an event — it was a celebration of connection, curiosity, and the quiet beauty of tea.
We’re grateful for every conversation, every sip shared, and every person who took time to engage with us.
Thank you, Helsinki — and see you at the next tea moment.

With love and warmth,
