Sydney Tea Festival

THE SYDNEY TEA FESTIVAL IS A CELEBRATION OF SPECIALTY LOOSE LEAF TEA - ON 21 AUGUST 2016 Australian's drank about 7.7 billion cups of tea last year! That’s clearly cause for celebration. And everyone has a favourite type of tea, whether it’s chai, green, oolong, black, white or a healthy herbal tisane. This August you’ll get to sip and sample them all at the Sydney Tea Festival.
