Designed to cater to the growing coffee and tea culture and consumption in Asia, Café Asia 2013 boasts a projection of 150 exhibitors from 10 countries who would display the latest in the world of coffee; from arabica to robusta flavours as well as the various blends of tea from the highlands of Genting in Malaysia to the slopes of Kandy in Sri Lanka.

Held concurrently with Café Asia 2013 would be another premiere exhibition, the International Coffee & Tea (ICT) Industry Expo 2013, which would focus on the upstream sector of the coffee and tea industry.
