Running from Sep 3 to 6, Another Coffee Festival brings together specialty coffee roasters from Asia and Europe. Organised by Morning's Leon Foo and Alchemist's Will Leow, the event is open to all and celebrates coffee as a cultural, creative and social experience.
From September 3rd to 6th, the inaugural Another Coffee Festival will take place in Tanjong Pagar, Singapore. Organized by industry pioneers Leon Foo and Will Leow, this event will see 34 acclaimed specialty coffee roasters from around the world gather to celebrate coffee as a cultural, creative, and social experience. Foo and Leow, known for founding Alchemist, a specialty coffee chain in Singapore, recognize the city's growing sophistication in coffee culture.
The festival, hosted at Guoco Tower Urban Park, is open to all coffee enthusiasts and will feature participation from 19 Singapore-based roasters, alongside internationally recognized names such as Fuglen from Norway, Center Coffee from South Korea, and Coffee County from Japan. Visitors can purchase a reusable festival cup and tasting tokens, exchanged for coffee, and attend curated tastings and conversations with roasters and founders.
The festival offers more than just coffee tasting; it provides an immersive experience that connects Singapore with the international coffee community. Foo emphasizes that the event is non-profit, prioritizing participation and long-term value creation for the coffee community. The founders aim to complement existing industry events with an experience that emphasizes discovery, culture, and human connection.
Notable roasters such as Fuglen and Felt from South Korea are expected to bring unique perspectives, while the festival will also feature exclusive merchandise and limited-edition roasts. Foo and Leow envision the festival as a stepping stone for personal and professional growth within the coffee industry, potentially leading to collaborations and the emergence of new talent.
Their ultimate goal is to create a platform that fosters a deeper appreciation for coffee and strengthens connections within the global coffee community.
