Sydney Tea Festival

Sydney Tea Festival returns for it’s 6th year at Carriageworks. If you love tea, don't miss this event!

The Sydney Tea Festival is an interactive experience designed to help people discover and experience specialty tea; encourage and grow passion for tea through education; and showcase quality specialty tea providers.

Wander around a bustling tea market that features dozens of specialty and artisan tea stalls. You'll discover teas and tisanes of all kinds, from all over the world, as you make your way around the market place with a tea tasting cup in your hand. Chat with Sydney’s best tea purveyors and blenders and explore some of the most innovative tea products available.

Pick up some hand-made teaware, blend your very own tea at the DIY Blending Station, and just try to resist the sweet and savoury treats on offer. There’s also an educational program of workshops, talks and tastings hosted by Australia's leading tea specialists.
