After our first edition in 2026, we kept returning to one thought:
Тea is much bigger than most people realize.
It is not only something we drink.
It is a culture, a craft, a landscape, a ritual, a conversation, a memory, a way of hosting, a way of slowing down, and a way of connecting people across countries and generations.
Last year, Amsterdam Tea Festival welcomed 1,877 visitors, 80+ vendors, 40 workshops, cultural partners, performances, tastings, ceramics, food, and many beautiful encounters around tea.
For us, that first edition was proof that there is space in the Netherlands for a festival that treats tea with more depth 🙏🏼
• A space where visitors can taste and learn.
• Where makers can share the story behind their work.
• Where tea brands, ceramic artists, food creators, workshop hosts, cultural partners, and performers can come together in one environment.
• Where tea is not presented as a background element, but as the centre of the experience.
Now we are preparing the second edition!
On 30 January 2027, Amsterdam Tea Festival returns at Kromhouthal, Amsterdam Noord, from 10:00 to 19:00.
This year, we are growing into a larger venue, with more space for exhibitors, workshops, performances, tastings, food, ceramics, teaware, cultural moments, and areas where visitors can pause, sit, meet, and take everything in.
Our intention is simple: to give specialty tea, and everything around it, a stronger stage.
• To show how diverse the tea world.
• To support the people who work with care, knowledge, and tradition.
• To create a place where tea culture in the Netherlands and Europe can grow with quality, visibility, and meaning.
The website is now open for the next steps:
Tickets are available for visitors.
Applications are open for vendors.
Workshop hosts can also apply.
