We would like to invite you to exhibit & sell at the Heartland Tea, Coffee & Chocolate Festival!

The festival is a celebration of all things tea, coffee, and chocolate, and offers a unique opportunity for exhibitors to showcase their products to a diverse audience of tea, coffee, and chocolate enthusiasts.

The festival has a rich history, starting in 2015 as the Midwest Tea Festival drawing 1100 attendees in its last year prior to the pandemic. Sally Wei took over as director in 2022-2023 for over 800 attendees. For 2024, Nicole Burriss, the festival founder and original director, returns to advise the new director, Tina Beyers of Savory Tea Co. We are planning for 1000+ attendees in 2024.

We offer a range of booth prices to help level the cost of participation for those local as well as international. Early bird prices ($50 discount to any booth category) are available until April 10 with a 50% deposit to hold your booth. Full payment will be due by August 31. Previous exhibitors from the Midwest Tea Festival will be assigned points based on years of participation and sponsorships to determine the order of booth assignments.

The festival will offer a curated list of exhibitors to ensure minimal overlap of products and to provide attendees with a diverse range of offerings. In addition to the exhibitor floor for shopping, the festival will also feature educational offerings, including hands-on classes and lectures. Attendees can also participate in small group tasting sessions and enjoy afternoon tea and coffee seatings on both days.

Don’t miss out on this exciting opportunity to showcase your products and connect with tea, coffee, and chocolate enthusiasts from around the region.
