TCFB 2026: Taichung's Premier Platform for Tea, Coffee & Bakery Innovation (July 10-13, 2026)
Scheduled for July 10-13, 2026, the Taichung International Tea, Coffee & Bakery Show (TCFB) returns to the vibrant city of Taichung, Taiwan, poised to be a cornerstone event for Asia's F&B industry. Held at the expansive Taichung International Expo Center, this highly specialized trade show focuses exclusively on the interconnected worlds of premium tea, specialty coffee, and artisanal bakery products. TCFB 2026 is set to attract a global audience of industry professionals, including producers, distributors, retailers, roasters, chefs, and equipment suppliers, seeking the latest trends, sourcing opportunities, and technological advancements.
Why Taichung? As Taiwan's third-largest city and a major agricultural hub, Taichung offers a strategic location with deep-rooted connections to tea cultivation (notably Dong Ding Oolong and high-mountain teas) and a burgeoning coffee culture. The city's central position facilitates easy access for both domestic and international attendees, making it an ideal nexus for trade and knowledge exchange within the Asia-Pacific region.
