Tea and Sustainability: Showcasing Organic Teas at UBS Eco Fair 2023
At Paper & Tea Hong Kong, we take pride in offering high-quality organic teas that celebrate the art of tea while supporting sustainability. Our participation in the UBS Eco Fair 2023 was a fantastic opportunity to showcase our commitment to eco-friendly practices, connecting with tea lovers and businesses who share a passion for the environment.
The UBS Eco Fair was all about fostering an appreciation for sustainable living and promoting green products. We were thrilled to bring our finest selection of teas—from master blends, single origin and herbal blends tea —to an event that was all about reducing our environmental footprint. Let’s take you through the highlights of the fair and how our tea offerings fit perfectly into the theme of sustainability.
Sustainability and Tea: A Perfect Match
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do at Paper & Tea Hong Kong. From sourcing the finest organic teas to using eco-friendly packaging, we believe that enjoying tea can—and should—be an environmentally conscious choice. Our presence at the UBS Eco Fair 2023 gave us the chance to connect with attendees who were equally passionate about making sustainable lifestyle decisions.
Our tea offerings are all carefully selected to ensure they are organically certified and sourced from farms that practice ethical farming. This means that not only do our teas taste exceptional, but they’re also good for the planet. Supporting organic tea helps protect ecosystems, reduce pesticide use, and ensure that farmers are fairly compensated for their work.
Organic Teas We Featured at the UBS Eco Fair
At the UBS Eco Fair, we had the pleasure of sharing a curated selection of our favorite teas. Each type of tea has its own story, health benefits, and unique flavor profile, making them a joy to sip while also being mindful of sustainability.
Black Tea
Our black tea collection was a big hit at the Eco Fair. Rich, bold, and full of flavor, black tea is perfect for those who love a strong brew. We featured blends like Hriman Classic Chai and Darjeeling, which are known for their malty and slightly sweet flavors.
Black tea not only energizes you with its caffeine content but also provides a great source of antioxidants. What made it stand out at the fair was how it showcased the craftsmanship behind organic tea farming, highlighting the importance of ethical sourcing.

Green Tea and Matcha
The vibrant world of green tea was another star at our booth. Known for its health benefits—like boosting metabolism and being packed with antioxidants—green tea remains a favorite among wellness enthusiasts. We offered popular varieties like Sencha and Gyokuro, which offer fresh, grassy notes that are as refreshing as they are healthy.
Of course, no discussion of green tea is complete without mentioning matcha. Our ceremonial-grade matcha was particularly popular at the event, with its rich umami flavor and creamy texture. Matcha is not only a delicious drink but also a superfood—packed with nutrients that promote relaxation and focus.

Pu-erh Tea
If you’re looking for a tea that brings complexity and depth, pu-erh tea is a must-try. Pu-erh is an aged, fermented tea from China’s Yunnan province, known for its earthy and smooth flavor.
At the UBS Eco Fair, we explained to visitors that pu-erh tea offers several health benefits, including aiding digestion and supporting heart health. Its unique aging process not only enhances the flavor but also improves its antioxidant properties. This tea is a great choice for those who appreciate a rich, full-bodied tea with a story behind it.

White Tea
One of the most delicate teas we showcased at the UBS Eco Fair was our white tea. Lightly processed and known for its subtle, sweet flavor, white tea is the least oxidized of all tea types, meaning it retains a high level of antioxidants.
White tea is a fantastic choice for those looking for a tea that is both gentle and healthful. It’s often appreciated for its ability to support skin health and provide a mild energy boost without the jitters commonly associated with other caffeinated drinks.

Herbal Tea
For those seeking a caffeine-free option, our herbal tea selection was a soothing alternative. Herbal teas are made from a variety of dried flowers, fruits, herbs, and spices, and they offer a range of health benefits. At the event, our popular choices included peppermint, known for its refreshing and cooling taste, and chamomile, a gentle tea perfect for relaxing after a long day.
Visitors were excited to learn that herbal teas are a great way to support overall health, whether you’re looking to improve digestion, reduce stress, or simply enjoy a naturally flavorful cup.

The Role of Tea in a Sustainable Lifestyle
Tea has always been a symbol of tranquility, community, and mindfulness—values that align closely with the principles of sustainability. Whether you’re enjoying a warm cup of black tea in the morning or unwinding with a soothing herbal blend in the evening, tea offers a moment of calm in a busy world.
At Paper & Tea Hong Kong, we believe that incorporating sustainable tea into your daily routine is a simple yet impactful way to reduce your environmental footprint. With our eco-friendly packaging and focus on fair trade practices, we’re making it easier for you to enjoy high-quality tea that’s also kind to the planet.
