Tealet and Joy’s Teaspoon, both of Las Vegas, are proud to announce the debut of the Southwest Tea Fest. It is the cities first and only tea festival, focusing on quality tea and tea culture. “When people think tea culture and tea happenings, they think New York, Chicago, and Seattle. The SW Tea Fest gives us a chance to showcase all of the great businesses and cultural groups that are bringing tea right to our own backyard,” says Joy’s Teaspoon owner, Naomi Rosen. The SW Tea Fest will kick-off at 10:00am on Saturday, February 27th, 2016, at the Downtown 3rd Farmers Market, right in the heart of vibrant Downtown Las Vegas.  “We are excited to showcase the tea and art culture of the Southwest and hope Vegas locals and travelers come check out what Downtown has to offer,” says Tealet’s CEO, Elyse Petersen.
