The 2012
Northwest Tea Festival took place at
Seattle Center on October 6th and 7th.
This was my first tea festival and a great experience being around so many tea people and browsing all the tea booths.
I attended the first day of the tea festival so I could take part in the Tea Sommelier Apprentice Level 1 training presented by James Norwood Pratt and Devan Shah. The was a beginner-level introduction to tea, giving attendees the knowledge to better appreciate the many nuances of tea.
