Cha Cha Cha Party 2026 - Discover Japanese Tea
Saturday 14 February 2026 | 11:00 AM
Southport
A two-day-only festival featuring carefully sourced matcha/tea from Japan, showcasing authentic flavors, culture, and stories!
Discover carefully sourced matcha and Japanese tea from Japan through tasting, hands-on workshops, and cultural experiences. From drinking and creating to relaxing and learning, this event offers a deeper way to experience Japanese tea culture.
For this special Tea Party, we’re expanding beyond the Shiro store and taking over the bar space right next door – creating a larger, open venue where everyone can feel comfortable.
Enjoy tea freely, move around easily, and soak in the atmosphere across both spaces – designed for a relaxed, social, and immersive experience.
Enjoy unlimited servings of carefully selected Japanese teas, and customize every cup with unlimited gelato toppings. Sip, scoop, and repeat – no limits, just pure tea indulgence.
Each ticket includes an event-exclusive matcha shaker, so you can continue enjoying matcha at home.
