2017 World Tea Expo Day 1 – Oolong Owl Hooty Tea Travels

  By ,

Welcome to Oolong Owl’s coverage of the 2017 World Tea Expo! Day 2 | Day 3 | Haul | Trends & Thoughts | Day 1 was a short day of 3 to 6pm, which made it more of a networking day as there wasn’t much time to see much of the show floor. I flew in that morning, and arrived to the convention center early, wandering around looking for people I knew. This year was kind of sad as many tea bloggers and people I know were not in attendance. Upon opening of the day, they had dragons open the show. First stop, I… Continue reading, hoot!

Oolong Owl’s World Tea Expo 2016 Hooty Haul

  By ,

Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 This is it – the World Tea Expo 2016 HAUL! I flew down with a half empty (un-expanded) carry on suitcase. I got too much stuff that I had to mail a large flat rate home, plus smuggle in tea that didn’t fit in the box in my sweater as the airline were pretty firm on 2 bags only. I also bought something that TSA would of hated. I shipped my box Friday afternoon at the Las Vegas airport. My box arrived Monday afternoon! Upon opening… sad owl… something exploded. Upon investigation,… Continue reading, hoot!

Oolong Owl Hoots the World Tea Expo 2016 – Day 3

  By ,

Day 1 | Day 2 | Haul Last day of WTE is usually a short and slow one. This year was different as there was still plenty of action going on. I did a couple walk throughs of the whole place to make sure I saw everything, but also wandering to see anything being sold and connecting with friends. There was one booth, Royal Tea New York, that I must of walked by for two days and didn’t notice until the puer detection sensors went off when they where unwrapped a puer cake. This is a wholeseller, however it turns out they have pressed their own spring 2016 sheng… Continue reading, hoot!

Oolong Owl Hoots the World Tea Expo 2016 – Day 2

  By ,

Day 1 | Day 3 | Haul I barely slept last night – it might of been the insane amounts of caffeine I drank the day before, excited nervousness, or just the strangeness of staying at Circus Circus. When people ask me how this year’s World Tea Expo has been going, I’ve been saying it has been really busy for me. I’m struggling to get to each booth and I’ve noticed sellers have been doing a great effort as I’ve been at each booth much longer than previous years. Today I had some really unique teas and experiences that made this day… Continue reading, hoot!

Oolong Owl Hoots the World Tea Expo 2016 – Day 1

  By ,

Day 2 | Day 3 | Haul  Welcome to the Oolong Owl Hooty coverage of the World Tea Expo 2016! This year the World Tea Expo is held June 15 – 17 in the Las Vegas Convention Center! I flew in Tuesday night and I’m staying at Circus Circus. I expect a few nights stumbling back here tea drunk, hopefully in better shape than Hunter S Thompson. I am here with ZERO tea, no tea in my suitcase, nor travel tea tumbler. I expect I will thoroughly rectify my lack of tea situation over the next few days. I decided this year to bring… Continue reading, hoot!

Oolong Owl’s World Tea Expo 2015 Haul

  By ,

Oolong Owl invades the World Tea Expo 2015 Read Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 Here it is, my haul from the World Tea Expo 2015! Admittedly, it is hard to purchase things for just yourself at the World Tea Expo as many are sold as wholesale, or they just had one or two items as demo. I purchased a bunch of tea books – I learned from last year that the books will disappear. Cook books were of interest to me, my husband and I buy (and receive) lots of cookbooks. I purchased 3 cook books – Tastefully Small Savory… Continue reading, hoot!

World Tea Expo 2015 – Day 3

  By ,

Oolong Owl invades the World Tea Expo 2015 Read Day 1 | Day 2 | Haul The final day of the World Tea Expo 2015! I’m tired! So much walking, carrying lots of packages/tea owls/camera stuff as well as tea binging and crashing. The caffeine crashes being the worst. I actually didn’t have much to do today – I had seen almost all the booths so all I had on the quest list is to hit a few booths I missed, The Finest Brew (again) and purchase some tea cups. As a surprise, my husband stuffed the giant Hell Hoot into my camera… Continue reading, hoot!

Oolong Owl invades the World Tea Expo 2015 Read – Day 1 | Day 3 | Haul Today was the day I was going to try and visit the other half of the Expo that I didn’t see yet, as well as back track to others that were too busy the first trip. I visited lots of booths and took a lot of pictures! So many pictures! Delicious Tea Aiya – I had a long talk with Aiya Matcha on matcha quality and market. Happy to see matcha taking off but most importantly great to taste the really good matchas. They were very knowledgeable… Continue reading, hoot!
