Seattle Northwest Tea Festival tour
I planned a 5 night trip to Seattle around the Northwest Tea Festival this year for my tea festival volunteers. Unfortunately, most of them cannot make it.
I still have a suite in a downtown hotel reserved and reservations for afternoon tea in 2 locations, with tastings in 2 others. Also a tour of Theo Chocolate and the Panama Hotel and a behind the scenes look at the Northwest Festival. Pike Place Market, Fremont District, other chocolate stops… It’s a food and tea focused trip. :)
If anyone would like to jump in on this, I’d be happy to chat about it in a PM and give details. There are 5 spots available.
Not sure I’ll be able to make the tastings but I am planning to attend the NW tea fest on Oct 1st. We fly home on Oct 2nd. Maybe we’ll get to meet at the festival at least :)
I’m from the Vancouver area so not too far… I’m gonna talk with a few family members about it, I’ve never been to a tea expo but we order high quality tea internationally all the time so it’d be a great experience and opportunity.
I’d totally take you up on those but I’ll be too busy getting our booth ready. :-D
Gonna sound like a total newb here, but as I not a pu-head, I haven’t really kept up with you except for your awesome IG stuff. :) Do you all have a store in Seattle or a tasting room?
We primarily sell online. Our home doubles as a small tea tasting house. We’re up in Lynnwood. About 15 minutes north of Seattle. You’re welcome to stop by, but it might be a bit hectic before the festival. It’s a lot of work getting things ready.
A kind offer, but I completely understand the hectic. :) I wouldn’t dream of making things even moreso.
After the festival it’s so much easier. :-D At least stop by the booth and have some tea.
There’s is going to be quite a few of us Steepsters / Tea Slack Chatroom people at the NW Tea Festival. Maybe 9 of us?
I’m local too, live north of Seattle as well. It is a bit far out for me to know if I can do the tasting, I tentatively have in laws that might be visiting right before the festival.
All fails, we need to get badges or a meeting place for everyone to meet up at the NW Tea Festival.
Well, unless I decide to cut back my stay if no one joins me for the whole 5 nights I have reserved, I’ll be there from Thursday afternoon through Tuesday morning doing tea and chocolate. :) Anyone who wants can join me at any stop I am making. Tea reservations do have to be done ahead of time, though. I have Queen Mary set for Thursday afternoon and Cederberg for Sunday afternoon before the festival is over.
