里约植物园始建于1808年，是巴西历史悠久的综合性植物园。园内尚存两棵200多年前由第一批华人移民种植的中国茶树。2024年，国网巴控公司联合交通银行巴西子行对园内一处年久失修的建筑进行修复并开设“茶缘·中巴友谊园”，常设“茶之道”茶文化展览。2025年，铭刻着“山海无间，风雨同舟”的泰山石与中国茶苗落户友谊园，形成独具特色的中巴茶文化人文载体。

据主办方介绍，依托“中巴文化年”契机，本次展览对原有茶文化展览提档升级，深度挖掘茶与咖啡两大饮品背后的自然渊源、民俗历史与生活美学，借草木时序对话，生动展现中巴两国发展理念、生活情趣中深层相通的精神共鸣。本次展览面向公众免费开放，后续将作为常设展览持续对里约市民及游客开放参观。

Chinese Consul General in Rio de Janeiro, Tian Min, stated in her speech that tea and coffee carry the unique cultural traditions and way of life of China and Pakistan, and also witness the friendship formed by long-term exchanges between the two peoples. This exhibition uses tea and coffee as a medium and cultural life as a bridge, fully showcasing the profound connotation of cultural exchange and mutual learning between China and Pakistan. This year is the "China Pakistan Cultural Year". We believe that this exhibition will further enhance the understanding and knowledge of each other's cultures among the Chinese and Pakistani people, promote cultural exchanges and mutual learning between China and Pakistan, and deepen the friendship between the two peoples.

The continuous deepening of the relationship between Brazil and China is the result of joint efforts by all parties for a long time, "said Sergio Viana, the director of the Rio Botanical Garden. Tea and coffee not only have their own practical value, but their related social rituals are also the bond that connects people, which is the core intention of this exhibition. The exhibits in this exhibition are beautiful and moving, full of deep affection and thought-provoking, connecting the profound friendship between Pakistan and China.

George Ball, Deputy General Manager of State Grid Bus Control Company, said that the theme of "tea and coffee" contains rich connotations of cultural exchange and mutual learning between China and Pakistan. Tea and coffee both originate from nature, serve humanity, and embody people's aspirations for a better life. I hope that through this exhibition, more visitors can understand the historical stories behind tea and coffee, feel the deep resonance between Brazil and China in nature, culture, and lifestyle, and also let the friendship between Brazil and China take root, sprout, and blossom here.

The Rio Botanical Garden was founded in 1808 and is a comprehensive botanical garden with a long history in Brazil. There are still two Chinese tea trees planted by the first group of Chinese immigrants over 200 years ago in the park. In 2024, State Grid Corporation of China and Bank of Communications Brazil jointly repaired a dilapidated building in the park and opened the "Tea Yuan · China Pakistan Friendship Park", with a permanent "Tea Road" tea culture exhibition. In 2025, the Mount Taishan Stone inscribed with "Mountains and Seas Are Bound, Sailing in the Same Wind and Rain" and the Chinese tea seedlings will be settled in the Friendship Park, forming a unique cultural carrier of Chinese and Pakistani tea culture.

According to the organizers, relying on the opportunity of the "China Pakistan Cultural Year", this exhibition upgrades the original tea culture exhibition, deeply explores the natural origins, folk history, and aesthetic of life behind the two major beverages of tea and coffee, and vividly demonstrates the spiritual resonance of the deep connection between the development concepts and life interests of China and Pakistan through the dialogue of plants and trees in chronological order. This exhibition is open to the public for free and will continue to be a permanent exhibition open to Rio citizens and tourists.
