The third annual New York Coffee Fest will be running from October 13-15th. The festival features over 85 coffee and food vendors and hosts interactive events, from latte art competitions to coffee tastings. The official charity partner for NYCF, Project Waterfall, will host a “water challenge” to support clean water projects in the Rulindo district of Rwanda. I’d like to speak to vendors and participants about the growth of the speciality coffee industry, as well as visit Project Waterfall and inquire about sustainability practices in coffee farms.
