$10 - Taste Specialty Teas at Downtown Festival, Half Off

The Deal

Sample unique varieties while learning everything about the world of specialty tea from leading experts at the second annual International Tea Festival, held at the Japanese American National Museum in downtown LA. Travelzoo subscribers can attend either day of this event, held on Oct. 27-28, for $10, regularly $20.

Mingle with industry experts and vendors at this event, which brings together a diverse group of authors, buyers, retailers, artists, educators and tea lovers from across the country for exhibits, presentations and tastings. You'll be able to sample tea from purveyors like LA's popular Chado Tea Room -- which boasts 300 types of specialty teas -- Harney & Sons Fine Teas and Aiya America, the top producer of Matcha green tea since 1888.

For $50, get the general admission ticket plus a spot in a two-hour tea "sommelier" class at the event, regularly $120 total. Learn the fundamentals of tea history, origins, "terroir," varietals and production, and receive an official certification at the end of the course. Taught by leading tea author James Norwood Pratt and Devan Shah (founder of International Tea Importers and Chado Tea Rooms), the class takes place from 2-4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 27, or 11 am. - 1 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 28.

Proceeds from the festival go to the Japanese National American Museum.
