It features 160 artifacts and historical materials from the collections of the Palace Museum, Hebei Museum, and China National Tea Museum. These pieces narrate the development of Chinese tea culture, highlighting its historical journey, regional connections, ethnic integration, and global impact.

In November 2022, "Traditional Chinese Tea Processing Techniques and Associated Social Practices" were inscribed on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
