Anybody who knows me can tell you I am absolutely obsessed with Coffee. This is why every year around October I eagerly prepare my taste buds for the New York City Coffee Festival. This year me and about 9k Coffee lovers had the chance to check out the anticipated event held at the Metropolitan Pavilion.
From Friday, October 6th to Sunday, October 8th the space was packed with Coffee novices who had a chance to sample delicious lattes, cold brews, chai teas, matcha, chocolate, spirits, and from various exhibitors including Smirnoff, Parlor Coffee, Blueberry Roasters, ansa, Joe Coffee, Blank Street, Rishi Tea, Matcha Direct, De’Longh. I was glad that I wore comfortable shoes because there were three whole floors of exhibitors, experiences, and events to explore.
100% of profits from the New York Coffee Festival are donated to Project Waterfall. Since 2011 Project Waterfall has raised over $2 million and changed more than 80,00 lives in coffee-growing communities in Nicaragua, Rwanda, Tanzania, Vietnam, Uganda, Kenya and Ethiopia. This year’s event raised more than $31k in support of their mission who in partnership with NYC-based Charity:Water continues to help deliver life changing water projects in coffee growing regions.
Café Carrizal
I LOVE THIS COFFEE! this was by far my favorite from the festival! It felt so good to connect to my Dominican roots! Café Carrizal’s coffee beans grow alongside a wide variety of fruits and vegetables and you can definitely taste in every sip!
Tezumi Tea
I was happy to see the crew from Tezumi Tea. It was great to see so many people interested in Japanese tea. I had a few samples and it was extremely tasty!
