澳門茶藝專業人員協會（以下簡稱茶專會）成立於 2011 年，由澳門一群來自各領域的愛茶、致力於推廣茶文化的熱心人士組成。茶專會成立旨在推動澳門茶文化發展，尤為重視禮儀、道德文化的推廣，實踐茶文化的內涵精神，在陳佩蘭會長帶領下以推廣中華文化為己任，透過多種方式宣揚、傳播中華茶文化的博大精深和多元特性。
多年來茶專會以培訓專業茶藝師和評茶員人才為目標，我們亦是本澳首批帶領學員考取國家職業資格證書的團體。希望通過專業學習，鼓勵年輕一代茶藝師肩負起推廣茶禮、茶德、茶藝、茶道文化的社會責任。同時，由於澳門沒有出產茶葉，每年茶專會都帶領學員到內地和台灣等茶山遊學，從而認識並學習茶葉生長、製作、生產過程和對茶葉安全性的專業考量。
十年來「澳門茶藝專業人員協會」先後創辦了「濠江愛茶日」、「國際茶文化嘉年華-澳門」，及第一屆「澳門茶藝師評選大賽」，「一帶一路茶文化」等專題活動，更前往各大學校、博企、政府機構、社會組織開展多場講座、培養中小學及大學生接受中國文化薰陶，提升在職人員的服務質素，讓茶文化在新的經濟騰飛時代得到了更大的內涵詮釋。
而我們舉辦活動的目的旨在讓市民坐下來享受一杯茶的寧靜，從瞭解中華文化內涵中增強自己的從容自信，有禮親和，高貴優雅，熱情有度，謙卑恭敬的生活及工作態度。我們專會亦時常引進各地的專家學者來澳分享經驗互學互鑑，將優秀中國傳統文化在澳門弘揚，以茶為媒說好澳門故事、澳門中西交融文化。
2018 年起我們先後推薦澳門青年代表参加《茗星茶藝師全國評選大賽》、《國際工夫茶沖泡大賽》等全國性賽事，並以澳門故事為主調來演繹澳門茶文化。
此後，我們的專會成員/學生余梓謙先生獲得《第五屆茗星茶藝師全國評選大賽總決賽-總冠軍》、卜樂先生獲得《首屆國際工夫茶沖泡大賽-最佳人氣獎》、郭承章先生獲得《第六屆茗星茶藝師全國評選大賽總決賽-年度城市冠軍》、高比樂先生獲得《第二屆國際工夫茶沖泡大賽-銅獎》等榮譽，因此開創了澳門茶文化先河，亦讓世界眼前一亮。
為了嚮應習主席號召：茶起源於中國，盛行於世界。未來我們將繼續致力於振興茶產業，弘揚茶文化。推動全球茶產業持續健康發展，深化中西茶文化交融互鑒，讓更多的人知茶、愛茶，共品茶香茶韻，共建美好生活。並將繼續加大兩岸四地的合作，結合政府推動的“一帶一路”方針，支持促進澳門經濟多元化，豐富拓展澳門“一中心”，“一平臺”+“一基地”的內涵，積極參與打造以中華文化為主流、多元文化共存的交流合作基地。樹立起建設“文化名城” 的理念，共建人文灣區、助力國際人文交流，加強與東南亞國家乃至歐洲地區的茶文化交流合作，使得濠江再現百年前茶葉貿易連接中外文化、商貿交流的盛況。
The Tea Art Professionals' Association of Macao (TAPAM) was founded in 2011 by a collective of individuals who are passionate about the study and promotion of tea culture to all. TAPAM was established to facilitate and nurture the development of Macau’s tea culture, with a vested interest in cultivating professionals that can perform tea ceremonies and etiquette related events. With the guidance of our president Ms.Pui Lan Chan (Mandy), we are rapidly expanding our customer base and promoting the diverse characteristics of Chinese and local Macau tea culture. For many years, the TAPAM has aimed at training professional tea specialists and technicians, leading students to obtain national vocational qualification certificates, and through professional learning, encouraging the younger generation to proudly promote the tea ceremony, tea ethics, tea art, and tea ceremony culture. At the same time, since Macau does not produce tea, the annual tea conference leads the trainees to study tours at tea mountains of other regions and guide students to learn about the growth, production, production and safety measurement (quality) of tea. In the past ten years, the TAPAM has established "HouKong Love Tea Day", "International Tea Culture Carnival-Macau", and the first "Macau Tea Specialists Selection Competition", "One Belt One Road: Tea Culture" and a lot of other mid-large events. We also went to various universities, gaming corporations, government agencies, and other local enterprises to conduct lectures, to constantly lecture local students to accept and embrace Chinese culture, and train local employees to improve their customer service to via learning Chinese etiquette and tea serving culture. Moreover, one of the main purposes of the events that we host is to encourage participants to slow down with their pace of life to enjoy the tranquility and peace from a cup of tea, and gain understanding of the connotation of Chinese culture. We introduce experts and scholars to Macau regularly for tea culture and experience exchange and promote the excellent Chinese traditional culture to the world. Since 2018 we have regularly sent youth representatives to participate in both national and international competitions such as;
- "MingXing Tea Specialists National Competition",
- "International Gong fu Tea Brewing Competition"
We have always focused on using Macau's tea history as a point of interest during competitions, where we achieved the titles of
-"national championship",
-"most popular participant",
-"championship of the region"
and other kind of awards from competitions. Macau's pre-existing tea culture and the potential of growth within this market has been made evident since then. Xi Jin Ping, "Tea originated in China and will be prevailed to the world", is a statement we echo, promoting tea culture to the world, and contribute into developing a sustainable & thriving tea market in Macau while strengthening the fusion of Chinese and other cultures. Moreover, we will continue to work with corporations from mainland china to support "one belt one road" policy, to promote Macau's economic diversification, and be the base for multicultural coexistence.
