World Spice has been a Seattle staple just steps from Pike Place Market since 1995. We’re a spice company at heart, and that shows up in everything we do… especially our tea.
At the Northwest Tea Festival, we’ll be featuring our tea line, Colorful Tea Co. This is our in-house collection of single-origin loose leaf teas and original blends we’ve been crafting and refining for over 30 years.
Tea is more than a simple beverage, it can also be a practice that grounds, restores, and inspires. In this 45-minute session, tea ceremonialist Linh Le will share how to transform your tea practice into a personal ritual of mindfulness and meaning. You’ll walk away with practical tools for creating ritual in everyday life, inspiration for finding beauty in the simple, and new ways to let tea support your body, mind, and spirit beyond the cup.
With over 15 years of experience in the art of Gongfu cha, I have a deep appreciation for tea's history and cultural significance. I've had the pleasure of attending the Northwest Tea Festival on four separate occasions (2017, 2018, 2019, and 2023) and have enjoyed sharing my passion by organizing the Chinese Tea Party in Arizona.
