Indian Tea Association (ITA) is organising India Tea Festival in Abu Dhabi. This is third year in succession the festival is being held in the UAE, the venue of earlier two festivals being Dubai.

The festival, to be held between April 29 and May 1, will have participants from India as well as several tea-buying nations. There will be 33 participants from India representing tea producers, exporters and auctioneers, and another 34 from countries such as Iran, Egypt, Pakistan,Syria, Saudi Arabia, Kazakhastan, Russia and UAE, all major buyers of Indian tea.

The highlights of the three-day festival will include, among other things, buyers-sellers meet and elaborate tea tasting sessions. The probable impact of recent developments in some of the West Asian countries on India's tea exports to these countries too is likely to come up for a review, it is learnt.
