Project
THE IN-AIR COFFEEHOUSE
Team Epiphany partnered with Delta Air Lines and Starbucks to create The In-Air Coffeehouse, a first-of-its-kind travel experience that brought coffee culture to 30,000 feet before taking guests all the way to its source in Costa Rica. Beginning at Atlanta’s airport and continuing through Hacienda Alsacia, the journey transformed a flight into a multi-day experience rooted in coffee, hospitality, culture, and connection.
The experience began with a full Gate T1 takeover, including a Starbucks counter, branded photo moments, and an immersive jetway leading guests onto a dedicated charter flight. Onboard, the aircraft became a coffeehouse in the sky through personalized seat details, custom amenity kits, guided Starbucks tastings, curated food and beverage service, and a reimagined Delta One dessert moment.
After landing in Costa Rica, the experience continued with dedicated hospitality, wellness programming, and a full day at Starbucks’ Hacienda Alsacia Coffee Farm, where guests explored the farm-to-cup journey through tastings, tours, tree planting, and hands-on programming. The trip culminated with sunset cocktails, music from DJ Orange Calderon, and a live performance by Costa Rican artist Debi Nova, creating a seamless journey from the skies to the source.
