World Tea Expo Kicks Off June 7 In Las Vegas; Trade Show Showcases Innovations In Tea

LAS VEGAS, June 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- World Tea Expo, the most prominent annual event for the industry as well as a launching pad for hundreds of new products into the marketplace, takes place June 7 – 9 in Las Vegas, Nev. at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The conference and exposition gathers thousands of professionals and businesses, to show them how to capitalize on the tea explosion in the consumer marketplace. The event is a packed three-day platform of new tea products, educational sessions, workshops and tastings. The event is co-located with the new Healthy Beverage Expo, which is dedicated to supporting and fueling the healthy drink segment of the beverage market. Details are available at www.WorldTeaExpo.com and www.HealthyBeverageExpo.com.

"Tea is undoubtedly on an upswing in North America," says George Jage, founder and director of World Tea Expo, "and there are a lot of factors driving the growth of tea, such as: consumer shifts by our largest two demographics groups; a national war on soda; increased availability of premium product in the market; exciting new tea products; consumer cynicism of large conglomerates; the slow food movement; celebrity endorsement and involvement; national media attention; and continued research on the health benefits of tea. But what drives consumption is taste, and tea has enormous depth and range that other beverages simply can't compete with."

According to Jage, some of the new products being featured at 2013 World Tea Expo will revolutionize and excite the tea industry. "World Tea Expo showcases innovations and 'what's next' in tea through: a dynamic exhibit floor that gathers the global industry; in-depth training sessions; and industry experts."

Organizers expect more than 4,000 attendees from around the globe at 2013 World Tea Expo, where delegates acquire extensive product knowledge, visit more than 200 exposition booths and experience 200+ tea product unveilings.

Exposition hours for World Tea Expo, as well as Healthy Beverage Expo, are: Friday from 11 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.; Saturday from 11 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.; and Sunday from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.
