Toronto Tea
festival

Canada’s largest festival for tea lovers!

Welcome to the Toronto Tea Festival!

We are pleased to announce the return of the Toronto Tea Festival after the last two year’s closures due to Covid19. Whether you are new to the world of tea or a long-time aficionado, the return of the Toronto Tea Festival offers an opportunity to rediscover the world of tea from the traditional to the most current developments. Sample a wide variety of teas and learn from experts in the industry at one of the complimentary presentations. Taste teas uniquely prepared by exhibitors. Note differing flavours of teas from different places of origin, different processing techniques and different preparation styles. A wide variety of teawares, teas, and related products will be on display and available for purchase. Perfect for enhancing your home preparations or making thoughtful gifts. (Only a couple of weeks before Valentine’s Day if that’s appealing to you!) Play tourist and take a selfie in front of the entrance display wall and enter the raffle.

Stay tuned for up-to-date programming notes as the dates grow closer! We look forward to having you join us on January 28th and 29th, 2023 at the Toronto Reference Library.

Not sure what to expect? As the community returns to more normal activity, you can expect some of the excitement of years past with all of the beauty and savory delights. Look back at images from years past and recall the energy that was generated in the early years of the Toronto Tea Festival!
