Belcarra Seasonglass Green Tea Festival features six days of green tea goodness, complete with talks, workshops and product sampling, taking place on the picturesque grounds of Camp Howdy in beautiful Belcarra, B.C. The festival takes place July 12 - 14 and 19 - 21, 2019.
Now in its fourth year, Belcarra Tea Festival will introduce tea drinkers to a diverse line of organic green teas in the form of green tea based drinks, foods and products. Set against the pristine natural backdrop of Belcarra, the festival ultimately aims to highlight the myriad of health benefits that can be garnered from drinking green tea or using green tea products.
While many people have heard of the health benefits of the ancient teas, the steps in brewing loose-leaf green tea may still feel complicated to those who are unfamiliar with the process. Belcarra Seasonglass Green Tea Festival will simplify the process so you can easily incorporate the benefits of green tea into your daily rituals or routine. But that’s not all...
