The Second Floor Grand Hall hosts a tea market with local and global producers, plus presentations from tea-community experts.
All times are local to the venue · America/Los Angeles
At the Fall SF International Tea Festival, the central invitation is to taste across a market rather than settle on one tea. More than 30 international vendors are advertised for the November 14–15 gathering, and general admission includes unlimited tastings and a porcelain cup to keep.
The festival brings visitors into contact with tea makers and producers, including both local and global participants. With tastings included in entry, the market offers a way to compare what catches your interest and ask producers about their teas directly.
Presentations by experts from the tea community are also included in general admission. If a particular talk or class would determine which day you attend, check the festival’s class details before booking: speakers and session times are not listed on the Ferry Building event page.

The market takes place upstairs in the Grand Hall, separate from the Ferry Building’s regular ground-floor shops and restaurants. If you plan to shop, bring a bag: the building has no lockers or storage area for purchases.
The Ferry Building also hosts a farmers market on Saturdays, so the festival’s first day coincides with its regular Saturday market. The farmers market is a separate attraction, with its own hours and vendors.
