ASIA – Singapore Exhibition Services (SES) is launching a new event dedicated to gourmet coffee and tea.
SpecialityCoffee&Tea will be a biennial international event, one of the six specialised events of Food&HotelAsia(FHA) and will take place at Singapore Expo on 8-11 April.
The launch event aims to integrate all aspects of coffee and tea in a single platform, featuring products, equipment and services from producers and suppliers around the world.

Tea drinking is also prevalent in many cultures, predominantly in the Asian countries of China, Korea, Japan, India, Tibet and Vietnam, but also in European countries including France, Great Britain and Turkey.
