Thailand’s biggest tea festival has landed – and it’s steeped in everything from tradition to experimentation. Central Ladprao becomes a teahouse of many moods, where matcha purists and Thai tea loyalists find common ground over fragrant brews and fusion blends. There’s ceremonial-grade matcha whispering umami in every direction, a mixologist flown in from Osaka turning leaves into liquid poetry, and shelves lined with teacups you didn’t know you needed – all at prices that encourage indulgence. Expect bakeries perfumed with houjicha, workshops that make brewing feel like alchemy, and enough loose-leaf to lose yourself in. Whether you’re sipping, shopping or just loitering with intent, it’s less a market, more a meditation – one cup at a time.
August 8-13. Free. Central Ladprao, 10am-10pm
