The Coffee Lab
Ever thought that a cup you brew at home could taste better than the one you grab in a hurry at the bar?
Join us on Sunday, September 28 at 11:30 at Creative Mani Factory (Market area, Manifattura Tabacchi – Building B12) for a free workshop open to everyone.
With the guidance of a coffee expert you’ll learn:
• how aromas develop
• how flavors change depending on the brewing method
• simple tools and tips to upgrade your daily routine
• and how to get the best out of every cup
You’ll also get to try different brewing systems, ask questions, and join a guided tasting.
A unique chance to explore the world of coffee with awareness, curiosity, and great flavor.

A sip of wellness at Botanica Urbana
On the occasion of Botanica Urbana, the plant and flower fair at Manifattura Tabacchi — with exhibitors, talks, workshops and activities for all ages — our Bottega becomes a space for discovery and free tasting.
Together with Voelkel, the historic German organic company since 1936, you’ll have the chance to try some of their most loved products:
Ginger Shot – small bursts of energy made with organic ginger, lemon and fruit, perfect to kickstart your day.
Kombucha – a refreshing, slightly sparkling fermented tea with aromatic herbs, ideal for a natural and revitalizing break.
A unique occasion to discover Voelkel’s philosophy, which has always combined quality, tradition and respect for nature, and to enjoy a journey of healthy and conscious taste.
Join us at Bottega Biologica, inside Manifattura Tabacchi, for a special appointment dedicated to green culture and community.
Come taste, discover and share with us the pleasure of organic living!

LaSelva, to get to know up close who grows our food
Summer is the perfect time to go back to where it all begins: the fields, the rows, the organic farms we work with every day.
A few days ago, we visited LaSelva, one of the most iconic organic farms in our region. A valuable opportunity to meet those who work the land, see their methods up close, and reaffirm the ethics and quality behind our choices.
We believe in strong relationships with local producers — that’s why we visit them regularly to build a transparent and shared supply chain.
It’s a way to build trust — not only for us, but for those who shop with us every day.
Many of these farms also welcome visitors: it’s a unique chance to see firsthand how the products you find in Bottega are grown.
Because knowing where your food comes from is already a conscious choice.
