About the event
The Coffee & Tea Expo: “Sipping Culture, Tasting Community” is a vibrant cultural experience and community fundraiser celebrating the rich traditions of coffee, tea, and storytelling within the Puerto Rican and Afro-Caribbean diaspora. Hosted in support of the Afro-Caribbean Culture Center (ACCC), this event blends flavor, culture, education, and community connection into one unforgettable gathering.
