On January 31, Consul General Luo Weidong attended the 2026 Toronto Tea Festival held at the Toronto Reference Library. This event was part of the 2026 Toronto "Happy Chinese New Year" series, featuring over forty booths and offering tea culture lectures, tea ceremony performances, and tea tastings, attracting approximately 3,500 attendees from various ethnic backgrounds.

Consul General Luo stated that the Tea Festival has become one of Toronto's signature celebrations around the Chinese New Year, where teas and tea art from all over the world to add richer hues to traditional Chinese culture and the local multicultural fabric. Tea is an important medium for exchange and mutual learning between Chinese civilization and other civilizations worldwide. It is hoped that more local friends will come to love Chinese culture starting with Chinese tea.
