Tea & Coffee Festival 2026

Running from August 14 to 16, 2026, the Tea & Coffee Festival functions as a comprehensive hub for Northern Thailand’s beverage industry. The event combines the Chiangrai Tea and Coffee Festival, the Eastern Lanna Coffee and Tea Festival, and Chiangrai World Coffee & Tea into a single collaborative platform. Its primary goal is to boost experience-based tourism and create sustainable economic opportunities for mountain communities by showcasing the unique identity and high-quality produce of the region.

Attendees can participate in a variety of activities including product exhibitions, creative workshops, and business matching sessions designed for entrepreneurs. The festival also hosts high-energy professional competitions like the 'Drip Bag Smackdown,' as well as contests for latte art and signature drink creation. These events are intended to foster innovation and demonstrate the professional skills required in the modern industry.

Local government officials have supported the festival as a way to share the cultural history behind every cup, highlighting the natural landscapes and traditional wisdom of Chiang Rai’s farmers. By facilitating direct trade between producers and buyers, the festival aims to maximize profit margins for local growers and reinforce the province's position as a global destination for tea and coffee enthusiasts.
