Even though North America is dominated by coffee, tea is emerging thanks to health and wellness trend specially among younger generation. By identifying this emerging trend, tea festivals are held in areas like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Kansas City etc. But Pennsylvania and North-West tea festivals are overlapping on coming Saturday (28 September). In my personal opinion, this is not a good situation for USA tea lovers. Yes, those are regional fairs, but there must be at least few tea enthusiasts, specially businessmen who wish to attend both as visitors & exhibitors. Anyway, I am going to bring you information on both festivals. It’s up to you to decide where to go.
