AWESOME GIVEAWAY: Coffee and Tea Festival Admission

Some say you can't be a New Yorker without some sort of caffeine addiction. Well, I have managed two and half years without one, but I do like my coffee and my tea. So I'm planning on indulging in a little caffeine goodness over President's Day weekend at the annual Coffee and Tea Festival.


Featuring purveyors and fellow hot drink fiends from all over, this festival is sure to be a blast. Last year, I sampled all sorts of goodies, which was perfect for a blustery winter weekend. It was at this festival that I became obsessed with Harney & Sons teas and scooped up a bunch of samples to take home. The schedule also includes lectures, demos and classes that are included with your admission. I remember attending a tea-infused desserts session complete with good-portioned samples for all. Lastly, the first 1,000 to attend each day will receive a goodie bag!

The event runs Saturday-Sunday February 19-20 from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. at the 7West Event space located at 7 West 34th Street. You can buy your tickets here. 

Good news! I have three pairs of admission passes to giveaway to my lucky readers! You have four easy ways to enter and each comment counts as an entry. Make sure to include your email in your comments so that I can get a hold of you if you win:

    I heard about this contest on twitter, and I want to go to this because I've always been a huge tea fan. The one thing I haven't found in NYC is a nice, reasonably priced tea house where I ca sit and sip for hours. As a result, I've become quite addicted to coffee. I'd take my best friend and fellow coffee/tea lover. kmjones3@gmail

    I would love to go to the event because last year I attended the Tea Expo in Las Vegas. I am from California and just moved to New York and still trying to figure out local spots with good tea and a welcoming atmosphere. As for the Vegas event, It was SUCH an amazing experience and I would love to go to another event like that on the East Coast. I thought I knew a lot about tea, but boy, was I wrong! It was great visiting with vendors and seeing the new blends and products out there. I really would enjoy attending the various workshops (especially cooking with tea-yum!), watch a tea ceremony, and try some tea cocktails.

    Upon making new friends, I have become an advocate for tea- getting my friends to try different blends and just educating them on tea in general. They were hesitant at first, but that has changed! I would bring the person who was the most skeptical about tea, who ironically sent me this link. I want to show them the world of tea, I think they will thoroughly enjoy it!

    I just moved to New York to attend college and, like most sleep-deprived college students, am a total and utter coffee addict. A weekend surrounded by the brew sounds like heaven! I've also started drinking a lot more tea (especially loose leaf) so that's exciting as well.

    I found out about the contest on twitter, and I would bring my roommate so we could bond over coffee and tea love.
