As a proud St. Ambrose graduate and the owner of a bustling coffee shop in Des Moines, I have seen firsthand the vibrant culture that connects us through our love for beverages. The DSM Tea Festival has become a celebrated event in our community, drawing tea enthusiasts together to savor the rich varieties and intricate flavors that tea offers.
I firmly believe Quad Cities deserves a festival of this caliber. The QC community is ripe for a celebration that showcases not just the diverse flavors of tea, but also the stories behind them, the artisans who craft them, and the health benefits they provide. Imagine a vibrant gathering filled with workshops, tastings, and opportunities for local vendors to shine.
This festival would not only elevate the appreciation for tea in the Quad Cities but also strengthen local bonds and create new connections. Let's bring the bold world of tea to QC and create an unforgettable experience that resonates with our community’s passion for exceptional drinks and connections. It’s time for the Quad Cities to embrace a festival that celebrates the art and culture of tea
