The 2026 festival will also feature the National Coffee Championship, where the winners of the regional rounds will get a chance to represent India in international competitions. “India’s coffee sector is shifting from a purely commodity-based approach to a quality and experience-focused market. This festival will showcase the potential and diversity of Indian coffee at the domestic and global levels,” said Hamsini Appadurai, president of the Specialty Coffee Association of India. The festival will showcase the art of coffee production, processing, roasting and brewing under a “farm-to-cup” format. The unique characteristics of regional coffee will be shared through special tastings, workshops and cupping sessions. The event, to be held at the Chamaraja Vajra, Jayamahal Palace, aims to promote the specialty coffee culture in India. The festival will also provide an opportunity for coffee lovers to become aware of the importance of quality and transparency, she said.
