Hey, folks. Appreciate those who have followed and continue to follow. No one has stepped up wanting to take this event over so there will not be a festival in 2025. This page may be archived for a bit to see if anyone wants to produce the event again but it will eventually be taken down as well because I really don't want to be on Facebook any longer but have to as long as this business page remains in my name.

It was fun and I hope you continue with the friendships you made at the events over the years since 2015. To those who became steadfast supporters and volunteers, it was a good experience for me and I hope it was for you as well.

Thanks as well to Nevada Tea Festival and Dr. Sally Wei for stepping up and relaunching after covid. It was a difficult task and a struggle to do. Your efforts, time and expense were all sooo much appreciated.

I wish you all the absolute best and hope you continue on your tea explorations with your local shops and favorite online sources!

Thank you to all the sponsors, exhibitors, speakers, volunteers and attendees! I hope you had fun at the event and got your fill of caffeine. 😁

There are discussions ongoing with a few folks about continuing this event for 2025. All of your suggestions and feedback will be passed on to the next organizers. This will be my final year for the festival in any form. The next chapter of life calls and while tea will certainly be a part of it, putting on a festival will not.

I appreciate the support over the years with the Midwest Tea Festival, the Chicago International Tea Festival and the International Virtual Tea Festival. I have met many lovely people through these events and formed good friendships. Continue connecting with each other and sharing your love for these artisanal goodies!

This page and the Instagram page will remain up but not likely very active for awhile unless new organizers take over. The best way to stay in contact with the event and up to date on any announcements will be by signing up for the email list on the website, https://www.htccf.com

Tea to you,
Nicole

Happy International Coffee Day! I’m celebrating today with some chocolate covered coffee beans and am gearing up for the Heartland Tea, Coffee, and Chocolate Festival later this month. If you haven’t bought your tickets already, today is a great day to do so! You can also pick up chocolate covered coffee beans at my booth at the festival.
