Canada’s Only Tea Farm to Host Its First Annual Tea Harvest Festival !

Even though North American hot drink market is dominated by coffee, tea is emerging thanks to health and wellness trend specially among younger generation. Hawaii is known for her tea for few decades, but the passion of tea growing has already spread to USA mainland as well. Charleston tea plantation in South Carolina is the best example comes to my mind. Also in the US there is a League of Tea Growers. But can you image that the tea is grown even in Canada. As Tea & Coffee Trade Journal had reported, Westholme Tea Company, Canada’s first and only tea farm, is planning to host its first annual Westholme Tea Harvest Festival from 29-31 May 2020, which will celebrate the company’s commitment to create the most authentic tea culture experience in Canada.

The festival will extend the tea drinking experience into Westholme’s farm, where guests can gain an appreciation for the entire process of growing, harvesting, blending and tasting Westholme’s 2020 tea harvest.

While many Canadian tea lovers were first introduced to tea in its manufactured teabag form, it is an agricultural product, originating in tea gardens and harvested by hand each spring. Each year, the tea harvest brings to life its own flavour profile based on the local terroir. The climate, soil, altitude and latitude, in addition to the cultivation method, plant material (variety or cultivar), growing season, plucking type and historical practices all impact the final sensory profile of the tea.

“People may be surprised there is tea growing in Canada; they may be even more surprised that we have been growing tea for 10 years now!” said Victor Vesely, co-founder and tea-maker at Westholme Tea farm & Company.

One of Margit Nellemann’s ceramic tea-inspired vessels will be provided upon admission to the Tea Harvest Festival so that each guest can indulge in the full tasting experience. Seminars will highlight plucking and processing techniques and will include a Spring Harvest Cupping of Teas of the World.

The Westholme Tea Harvest Festival 2020 will feature live music, food pairings and culinary creations by local chefs and businesses which feature Westholme tea.

Experimenting with various growing conditions has been an integral part of Westholme Tea Company’s success and the company now produces the first Canadian rare terroir black tea, Heron’s Wake, in addition to their Tree Frog Green, Swallow Tale Oolong and White Mist. Along with producing its own teas, Westholme blends original tea recipes and tisanes (Herbal Infusions), sourcing certified organic teas and ingredients from around the world.

So My Dear Canadian Tea Lovers, This is in deed an interesting event for you all to attend in 2 months time !
