What is Venice Tea Day?

Venice Tea Day is not a tea fair.

It is a curated cultural experience where tea becomes a language connecting origins, knowledge and contemporary perspectives.

Hosted in the Scuola Grande di San Marco, one of Venice’s most remarkable historical institutions, the event brings together voices from across the world to explore tea as a living cultural practice.

Why this event is different

No stands, no commercial fair, no exhibitors: we bring together voices.

Each experience is designed to explore tea through culture, preparation and sensory awareness.

From origin to taste, from gesture to experience.

Beyond Origin

Leaf · Cup · Body

Tea is explored as an ecosystem:

  • origin
  • preparation
  • experience

With a focus on India and Sri Lanka, the event connects tradition and contemporary vision.
