Subtitled, “The Little Show that Proved Them Wrong.”
The Hill Team is hooked on coffee and tea. We thoroughly enjoy both depending on the time of day and where we are. When I read about the “Coffee and Tea Festival,” I felt it was something I should share.
This event is aimed at New York area independent coffee and tea shop owners who cannot take part in an huge annual trade show due to cost and time constraints. Approximately 25% of the attendees represent the retail community. So, if you are in the New York area, you may want to pass this information on to your coffee or tea shop. You may want to attend yourself. The cost is around $22–see website below.
February 20-21, 2010, Starfish Junction will produly present the 5th Annual Coffee and Tea Festival. It will provide a variety of exhibitors and presenters and attendees will be able to sample and taste.
The Food Network loved the show when they first attended in 2005. In this difficult economic time, pass this information on to your local shop owner. It may be just what they are looking to experience. I wish I was attending.
