Overview

Get ready to cosy up this winter at the Sydney Tea Festival. If you have a yearning for an Earl Grey or a passion for Russian Caravan, this event is sure to warm your cockles. When the festival opens at Carriageworks on Sunday, August 18, you'll find all manner of tea-related talks, workshops and tastings to extend your appreciation of the finest brew.

One workshop, held by Lachie Beange from Archie Rose Distilling Co., will explore tea and gin pairings — because your next tea party could always use some booze. In another, you'll learn all about pairing your favourite beverage with vegan food. Or, take sessions on everything from Australia's green teas to reading tea leaves — when you're not sipping your way through the tea market, that is.

There'll be plenty of stallholders showing their wares, a tasting table for small groups and a DIY tea blending station. Tickets range from $16.95 in advance to $20.95 on the door, and you should book ahead for the workshops and talks. Get ready to curl those frosty hands around a warm cuppa and escape Sydney's winter chill.
