Official 2021 Tea Festival and Trade Show Schedule
2020 was… quite the year for events – in that nearly all of them were canceled, delayed, or had to move entirely to digital platforms.
In contrast with previous years (2019, 2018), 2021 will be an evolving list. I’ve done my best to compile any and all Tea Festivals, Expos, and Trade Shows that will be proceeding in some form – but I’m sure this list will be updated as the world moves further into vaccine / reopening territory. Many I’ve found have been fully postponed until 2022. Some have simply not been updated since 2019 or early 2020 and it’s unclear if they will return.
Check back and keep me updated as well. As usual, this list is for both the industry and the layperson – if you’ve ever wanted to explore tea more, you can find it here!
