New festival features in 2018 include The Tasting Table, an area where tea drinkers can participate in intimate group tastings with tea purveyors, and a tea and food pairing degustation dinner held at Automata in Chippendale, in honour of the festival’s 5th birthday.
Bringing a celebratory look to this year’s event, Tea Festivals Australia has collaborated with Sydney artist Elliott Routledge (aka Numskull). Routledge has created a special brand design to commemorate the festival’s milestone birthday, and his artwork will feature at the venue.
The festival offers tea lovers plenty to explore through a marketplace of more than 70 stallholders. There’s also opportunities to learn more about tea, through interactive experiences and a program of workshops and talks, which is soon to be announced.
Loose-leaf tea is the hero of the festival with the market space showcasing creative and quality-focussed tea brands that place a strong emphasis on leafy grade, specialty tea including rare, pure teas; exotic blends; high-altitude teas from abroad; chai teas made from time honoured family recipes; Japanese matcha; Australian grown teas; and healthy herbal tisanes.
