Following the success of the first Tea & Coffee Festival in May 2011, the event returns to Southbank Centre for a winter extravaganza of the nation’s favourite beverages. The festival promises to have more companies showcasing their unique high-quality products and an ever-growing schedule of fascinating demonstrations, talks and tutored tastings.

Demonstrations and Tastings

Whether you are a confirmed tea connoisseur, a seasoned coffee drinker or even a caffeine-free individual you are bound to find demonstrations and products to pique your interest and tantalise your taste buds. Come along to witness a traditional tea or coffee ceremony; enjoy a coffee roasting demonstration; take part in a tutored tasting or even take part in the amateur Latte Art Competition.

Exhibitors and Stallholders

The Winter Tea & Coffee Festival 2011 is bringing some of the finest, and most discerning, tea and coffee providers and specialists together to showcase their wares and share their knowledge. The perfect cuppa often requires a suitable accompaniment and the festival will also offer complementary foods and desserts such as tea and coffee flavoured cheese cakes, coffee smoked beef baps and more.
