Africa is home to some of the world's finest coffees and we invite you to discover it first hand across two stages at The African Coffee Experience.
This interactive area is dedicated to exploring and tasting the best origins and cups that Africa has to offer. From Ethiopia to Keyna to Uganda, taste your way through a variety of African coffees and find out how the genetics and the processing affect the tasting profiles of each cup. It's a sensory experience you won't forget!
