2019 Tea Seminars and Festivals, U.S. & Canada

After attending the Global Tea Initiative's tea seminar, I became interested in finding other workshops and festivals. After spending some time researching,  I thought it might be useful for you if I shared my results here. I haven't been to any of these festivals before, so these are not recommendations nor  is this a complete list, but it's a start. If you have ones to add, let me know.

Global Tea Institute seminar

Well, there has been the teeniest tiniest break since my last post (6-1/2 years ago!!!) but I just went to a seminar today at the Global Tea Institute at the University of California, Davis and wanted to tell you about it. It was a 1-day, free seminar focusing on the body, mind and spirit effects of tea. Leading scientists spoke about their latest research findings on the health benefits of tea consumption. There were also lots of tea samples. I'm including a picture of the agenda for you and some photos of the tea samples. Enjoy!
