Here's what exhibitors had to say about the
2008 Coffee & Tea Festival: NYC:

"After participating in trade shows for many years in this industry and others, this was my first consumer show. It was by far the most rewarding of the shows - received several wholesale leads, but also received feedback from our 'true' customers. Instant feedback about what they liked, why, what else they are looking for is absolutely invaluable. Like a one day focus group!”

--Meg Schaefer, Sales Manager, Harrisons & Crosfield Teas: The Gold Standard in Tea

“We found the boutique setting of the event to be most appealing to both our Café La Paz team and the attendees. There was ample interaction with direct consumers, which was extremely refreshing and the best way to advertise, by direct word of mouth. The response to our product was no less than excellent, as we sold out within the first three hours of the show. We had to go to some of the local stores near the Metropolitan Pavilion that carry our product to buy it at retail price and bring it to the booth!!”

--Rafael E. Ascencio, President, Intermarket Sourcing LLC, Representing Cafe La Paz

“The 2008 Coffee & Tea Festival provided a great venue for coffee and tea vendors & for those in allied fields to meet a broad cross-section of interested & interesting coffee & tea consumers. The scheduled presentations represented an excellent educational forum & covered topical subjects in both the coffee & tea arena. SerendipiTea will be back next year for sure!”

--Linda Villano, Owner, SerendipiTea

“This was our 3rd year with the Coffee and Tea Festival and I have to say it is like wine, it gets better with age… We look forward to 2009.”

--John-Paul Lee, Founder & CEO, Tavalon Tea

Here's what exhibitors had to say about the
2007 Coffee & Tea Festival: NYC:

"Tavalon Tea has been a part of the Coffee and Tea Festival for the past two consecutive years. The event is consistently evolving and we’re proud to take part in such a successful endeavor. Tavalon has received a great amount of exposure as an exhibitor of the festival and picked up a large amount of clients along the way. Great for new start-up businesses looking to grow!”

John-Paul Lee, Owner, Tavalon

“It was a pleasure to participate in the 2007 annual Coffee and Tea Festival. We are extremely impressed of the high caliber and excellence of the show. I have never seen an event that has been launched for merely two years to be running so smoothly. We salute you for an excellent show and we are looking forward to participating again in your 2008 festival. Congratulations for a job well done.”

Marcela Zuchovicki, Owner, Jalima Coffee

“The Coffee and Tea Festival proved one thing to me, shows like this exist for a very good reason and that is to connect the vendors to the buyers! I cannot tell you how many new accounts I have because of your show. I am now in 4 new teahouses with my teas because of that one show and am entertaining a myriad of other business opportunities such as interest (from two different parties) to invest in my company!

So, thank you, thank you, thank you! I got a real lift from the coffee and tea show (largely due to the overwhelmingly positive response I got from the tea drinking public and businesses). I realized that I occupy a niche in the tea world that is very special. This self- awareness gives me the confidence to forge ahead and conquer new territories with Tay teas.”

-Nini Ordoubadi, Owner of Tay Tea

“We always look forward to exhibiting and working with Starfish Junction Productions--professional and good people all around. They have given us the opportunity to exhibit in N.Y.C. at an economical price, bring our tea products to the public, showcase our unique items and target the gourmet consumer. The Coffee and Tea Festival has given us the ability to direct market in a wholesale and retail environment. We made great contacts, last year we were able to close a huge deal with a national company!”

–-Richard Boehm, President, Ceylon Treasures

Here's what exhibitors had to say about the
2006 Coffee & Tea Festival: NYC:

"I want to thank you and Mr. Edward Dohan for the wonderful cooperation, positive experience and friendly atmosphere that your company, Starfish Junction Production created at the Tea & Coffee show."

"We at Grimac Royal Falcon Corp. are veterans of many trade shows, why veterans, because most of the past shows were we exhibited have been been a battleground between exhibitors and the show personnel. In contrast, your show was a total pleasure to attend and to be an exhibitor. Thank you."

- Marcantonio C. Marano-Ducarne
General Manager GRFC - a Royal Falcon Enterprises company

 

"The Coffee and Tea Festival was a great show serving to educate the public about tea and coffee.  With a multitude of product samplings, it was a very fun event for all.  Learning about Afternoon Tea Traditions and also experiencing a Japanese Tea Ceremony added to the festive atmosphere."

- 'Lady Gayle', TheTeaHouseTimes.com


"The Coffee and Tea Festival was an incredible experience for me. Tasting the unbelievable variety of coffees was a great treat, not to mention the "Moonshot" beer with caffein in it! All the other vendors were a joy to talk to. But most of all I want to thank you and your crew for the wonderful help you provided in setting up the show. My merchandise is very heavy, but with your help moving it to my booth was effortless. I look forward to next year's Coffee &Tea Festival and all the other shows you are promoting."

- Ingrid Werner, Rema Originals/Salt Crystal Lights from the Himalayas


"The show was wonderful. I really appreciated all of the help so readily offered by the staff before and during the show, especially during the setup. Everyone I spoke to felt very much attended to."

- Doreen Lynn Saunders, Americana Arts


"The Everything 4 Coffee & Tea Festival was the first exhibition show I have ever attended. It was a wonderful experience. The crew treated me with respect and importance, although I was probably the smallest exhibitor there! I overheard many of the seasoned suppliers comment on what a refreshing change to have such an intimate venue with lots of variety. I appreceiated such freindliness on my first excursion, thanks!"

- Laura Kacy, Home is Where the Tea Is


"The entire team of Starfish Junction put together an extraordinary Coffee and Tea Festival.  We were honored to be part of this very special event and enjoyed immensely working and getting to know all the members of Starfish Junction. Congratulations on a very successful event.  We are looking forward to participating at next year's event."

- Janet, Libe and Marcela, Jalima Coffee


“It was such a pleasure to have worked with Starfish Junction Productions on this years’ Coffee & Tea Festival. It was the perfect setting to introduce consumers, retailers and tastemakers to our brand!”

- Eli Trujillo, Director of Sales, New Leaf® Beverages
