The Toronto Tea Festival is back on January 31 and February 1, 2026, uniting 48 tea makers, artisans, and teaware experts from Canada and beyond for a weekend dedicated to celebrating tea culture, craftsmanship, and community.
This year’s festival features keynote speakers Jeff Fuchs, a well-known tea explorer and author, along with Michael D. Ham of Wild Orchard, a prominent advocate for organic tea farming and sustainability. Their discussions will focus on the cultural significance of tea, its future resilience, and its changing role in our world.
From unique traditional teas to creative blends, teaware options, and food items related to tea, the Toronto Tea Festival provides tastings, educational opportunities, and a chance to connect directly with those shaping today’s tea culture. Whether guests are lifelong tea lovers or just starting their journey into the world of tea, the 12th Toronto Tea Festival encourages everyone to slow down, savor deeply, and explore what tea has to offer beyond just drinking it.
