Celebrating 15 Tea Festivals!

Our festival in 2025 will be the fifteenth Northwest Tea Festival. Join us for a fun and educational two-day event showcasing the multifaceted world of tea. The goal of the festival is to provide experiences covering all aspects of tea, from the cultural to the historical and the sensory to the scientific. The festival is appropriate for people of all ages and all levels of tea experience, from mildly curious folks to passionate, life-long aficionados.

The 2025 festival will be open:

10 AM - 6 PM Saturday, September 27th   
10 AM - 4 PM Sunday, September 28th

Seattle Center Exhibition Hall

General Admission – one or both days – $25

Kids 12 and under get in free.*

A porcelain tasting cup and shopping bag will be provided as part the admission fee (as long as supplies last). The tasting cup allows sampling of tea at the program sessions and at the exhibiting vendor booths.

Stage presentations, Workshops, and Tea Bar activities are free. Workshops require online registration before the festival.

Each year festival organizers bring together authors, industry experts, buyers, retailers, artists, and educators to help you experience something new and expand your enjoyment of this most fascinating of beverages!

Immerse yourself in the tea experience:

  • Sample some of the finest teas from all over the world.
  • Attend presentations led by leading tea authors and industry experts.
  • Meet premier tea and tea ware suppliers.

*Kids 12 and under will not get a bag or cup, but the festival will have some sturdier tea cups for sale if kids want to be able to taste tea.
