Come join fellow tea lovers, buyers and sellers at the Fourth Annual Coffee & Tea Festival in NYC . Come and go as you need to.

 

Do you have questions for vendors -

"What is in the tea? Where is the tea grown? Is it organic? Online purchasing? Is it Fair Trade? Other flavors?" Walk into the door to collect a free goody bag as you pick up samples from vendors. Tea and goods are usually offered at discount. I will bring my map of downtown Manhattan.

Information will be updated as The Coffee And Tea Festival gathers more information. Stay posted!  - Anjel

Right now I'm scheduling the date for Sunday the 26th when I'm confident to attend.

You are welcome to make arrangements to be in NYC for the entire weekend or just one day.

STI Tea class info will be updated as I receive more info over the next few months.

Start planning today!
