Iced coffee has competition: Tea Sparrow’s first annual Iced Tea-Off on Sunday, July 19

Tea is one of the hottest food trends around and has become a sought-after drink for Canadians. At Tea Sparrow’s first annual Iced Tea-Off on Sunday July 19 at Heritage Hall in Vancouver, enthusiasts of all ages can satisfy their cravings by sampling from and scoring 16 different iced loose leaf teas from Germany, Canada, and the U.S.A.

“This is going to be an incredibly exciting and interactive event. Where else do you get to try every tea on display, score card it, and have your opinions help shape and change the flavour of the industry?”, says Tea Sparrow Co-Founder Michael Menashy.

Each tea has passed a rigorous quality and taste control test and established itself as a favourite among Tea Sparrow’s global members. Attendees will be able to purchase the various flavours, or become monthly subscribers by building their first box of four teas at a 40% discount.

Tea Sparrow is North America’s first monthly tea club and critiquing company, endorsed by some of the world’s leading Tea Sommeliers. Each month, members sample high-quality and chemical-free teas from blenders, and review on taste. Only the top-rated ones make it into the monthly Tea Box sent to subscribers. Over 700 people attended Tea Sparrow’s First Annual Tea-Off on October 26, 2014.
