Cascadia Tea Festival 2025

The Cascadia Spring Tea Festival was held on April 11, 2025 in Everett, Washington. This was a successful 4th year for the small volunteer-run event whose focus is to connect with community by sharing tea and its traditions.

The festival returned to Forest Park, a lovely woodland setting, with vendors and focused tea tastings in Floral Hall. New this year were classes and the welcome expansion into Lions Hall which hosted even more tea tastings.

This year there was also a Tea Pet Licensing station and it was vitally important that I get my new tea pet, Beep, licensed by Osmanthus Tea Bunny.

I recommend purchasing your tickets before the event, though they are accommodating a limited number of walk-ins.

Bring your own tasting cup if you have one. They will provide paper cups, but the tea tastes much better in a tasting cup.
