As fall descends upon Beijing, the 5th annual Central Business District (CBD) Coffee Festival at Jintai Market in the Fortune Mall Atrium will take place next week.
The CBD Coffee Festival is part of the 2025 Beijing CBD Forum event series, and will feature more than 100 vendors, including prominent Chinese brands and premium roasts from around the world.

Get a jolt of caffeine (and booze) from dirty coffees, hand pours, cold drips, and special coffee cocktails.
You can try unique coffee-themed snacks and shop for everything from mugs to espresso machines.
There will also be plenty of normal food and live music to enjoy at this four-day, outdoor, coffee-themed extravaganza!
Each ticket comes with two voting tokens – the brand that receives the most coins at the end of the festival will be crowned the most popular of the year!

There are free interactive activities and challenges to complete, which will earn you chances to win official merchandise, exclusive vouchers, and other amazing prizes.
Events include the Best Espresso Bean Competition in which beans provided by the exhibitors are sampled and ranked by both professional baristas and public judges.
There is also the Public Latte Art Challenge, in collaboration with Sanyuan and Monin, which is open to all coffee lovers!
The preliminary rounds will be held from September 11 to 13, and the final will take place on September 14.
