LINDENHURST
– NY-April 24, 2006- According to the National
Coffee Association, coffee and tea are the two most
popularly consumed beverages in the world being topped
only by water. Without them, productivity around the
world would most likely slow to about half while women
walk around with make up on one eye and men tote dryer
sheets on their jackets. This July, on the 15th and
16th, coffee and tea lovers can come together and celebrate
these beloved beverages and learn about how coffee and
tea makes the world go ‘round.
The
Coffee and Tea Festival will celebrate everything related
to the world of coffee and tea by featuring over 80
vendors. “As someone who has been in the industry
for 26 years, I am excited to see that A, this is happening
in New York City and B, that it’s going to be
open to consumers. They’re going to be exposed
to such a huge range of products and services,”
says Bobby Gayer, an industry consultant.
Participants
will be able to taste a plethora of coffees, teas, confectionary
arts and pastries while they view machines, potteries
and the like. Seminars, contests, demonstrations as
well as Japanese and English tea ceremonies will be
taking place throughout the day.
“The
fact that coffee and tea have become staples in American
culture makes this celebration for New Yorkers well
over due. They can finally get a chance to see everything
that this multi-billion dollar industry has to offer,”
said Brooke Jankow, the events’ producer.
New
York City’s First Annual Coffee and Tea Festival
will be held on Saturday, July 15th from 11:00am to
7:30pm and Sunday from 10:00am to 6:00pm. Tickets to
