Toronto Tea festival
About the Toronto Tea Festival
The Toronto Tea Festival is Canada’s premier consumer tea event, bringing together tea lovers, industry experts, cultural organizations, and specialty vendors for a weekend dedicated to tea discovery and education.
Founded in 2013, the festival was created to connect consumers directly with the people, products, and stories behind tea. Whether you are new to tea or a lifelong enthusiast, the festival offers an opportunity to explore hundreds of teas from around the world, meet passionate tea professionals, attend educational workshops, and experience tea cultures from diverse regions.
Unlike traditional trade shows, the Toronto Tea Festival is designed for consumers. Visitors can taste new teas, learn brewing techniques, discover tea and wellness trends, shop directly from exhibitors, and engage with tea experts in an interactive and welcoming environment.
Over the years, the festival has grown into one of North America’s leading tea events, attracting thousands of attendees and exhibitors from Canada and around the world. Our mission is to promote tea appreciation, support tea education, and build a vibrant tea community through meaningful experiences.
Whether you’re searching for your next favorite tea, looking to deepen your knowledge, or simply seeking a unique cultural experience, the Toronto Tea Festival welcomes you to join us in celebrating the world of tea.
