Tea is much more than a warm morning beverage or a calming night cap. Depending on the variety, it's also an excellent source of antioxidants and other health-boosting components that can ease everything from an upset stomach to racing thoughts. The appearance of the First Annual Texas Tea Festival on Austin's social schedule this year proves that coffee has a strong competitor in tea.
If you prefer the sweet, aromatic drink to java (or even if your loyalties are split), you should attend this event at Saengerrunde Hall on Sunday, February 8. Don't worry if you've never had a sip of tea—you'll have plenty of opportunities to try it here. Tastings of oolong, green, black, flavored, and even chai teas will all be available at the festival. In fact, each attendee gets a ceramic tasting cup to take home with their ticket. Learn more about the beverage at a Tea Talk, enjoy a few tea-time snacks, or chat with specialty tea vendors.
