Offering an alternative to alcohol and caffeine - the Nomad Tea Festival goes down over two days of in person programming this weekend.
The opening night of the tea festival goes down at Yugen Tea Bar, with seven teas on offer to taste alongside the guided expertise of the bar’s tea sommelier. Then, on August 6 there will be a market, workshop and performance dedicated to tea happening all day at Loop Bar in the city. To finish off, there are two days of online industry talks on August 8 and 9, if you just can’t get enough tea.

On Saturday, August 6, they’re hosting a day of tea workshops and masterclasses. It takes place at Loop Bar in the city, a place that my favourite comedians Sweeney Preston and Ethan Cavanagh lovingly referred to as a fusion of “the plants section at Bunnings and Revs” in their show Presentation Is Everything.
