INTERNATIONAL COFFEE & TEA FESTIVAL

The International Coffee & Tea Festival (ICTF), the region’s most sought after event for the specialty coffee and tea industry, at the Meydan Gallery & Convention Centre in Dubai, UAE ran from 11-13 November, with more than 100 tea importers at the show. Anselm Godinho, who heads the ICTF’S organizing team, said, “The enthusiasm for the coffee and tea industry has been riding high and is reflected by the tremendous response received from both visitors and exhibitors on the opening day of ICTF 2015. Our newly launched ‘Coffee and Tea in Business’ focus became an instant hit among cafe operators and owners as well as aspiring entrepreneurs as it addressed niche topics pertinent to the growth of cafes and the coffee and tea industry in general. We are upbeat that the festival will continue to offer beneficial insights, bring value to the industry in the UAE and the region, and instigate plans for future growth.”
