Coffee takes a brief holiday as Bangkok turns gloriously green for World Taste of Tea – a gathering that celebrates tea culture in all its forms. Traditional ceremonies lead the show, sitting comfortably beside casual drinks that city crowds currently queue for, offering a curious mix of heritage and modern taste all under one mall ceiling. You can even meet with the iconic Yerba Mate, the South American favourite now charming wellness devotees across the globe. Meanwhile, matcha specialists arrive from Japan alongside well known cafes from around Thailand, inviting guests to compare earthy notes one cup at a time. Browse the tables for rare leaves, elegant brewing tools and pastries that pair with a cuppa.There’s an air of ‘trade show’ but is delivered more casually than most, where conversation flows as easily as the next carefully prepared pot.
Until March 17. Free. Central World. 10am-10pm
