Lavazza, the premium Italian coffee brand and official Wimbledon partner, has launched an activation at this year’s Championships that helps tens of thousands of visitors to discover the story of Lavazza ¡Tierra! coffee.

Lavazza has a long-standing association with The Championships and this year the partnership will be focussed on sustainability and biodiversity.

Developed by creative agency Space, the Wimbledon activation aims to drive trial of the Lavazza ¡Tierra! range, whilst educating visitors to SW19 about the long-term sustainability commitments and initiatives of the Lavazza foundation, as well as highlighting Lavazza ¡Tierra! product features and coffee preparation methods.

There are two separate activation points within the famous Wimbledon queue, providing tennis fans with a premium coffee experience.

The first is the Lavazza Airstream trailer, where trained baristas will sample and educate consumers on the ¡Tierra! range. QR codes feature on bespoke Lavazza Wimbledon designed cups, offering chances for those scanning to win Championship-inspired prizes.

The second is the Lavazza Cabana which is clad with sustainable wood, living foliage and signage reflecting the brand’s sustainable credentials. The Cabana, an out of commission structure once used by Wimbledon, has been given a second life by Lavazza who liaised with The Championships horticultural team for inspiration on the foliage design.

Not only will the Cabana now be re-used, but the foliage will be replanted after use. Once again, Lavazza trained baristas serve up complimentary ¡Tierra! coffee, whilst brand ambassadors invite guests to “spin to win” prizes through a gamified app. Visitors can win from an instant win prize pool containing ground passes and merchandise, free coffee vouchers and exclusive offers for at lavazza.co.uk. Even more prizes are up for grabs for visitors that capture their best Lavazza moment of the day and tag @lavazzauk on Instagram.

Additionally, Lavazza brand ambassadors will be at the famous “Henman Hill”, located within the Wimbledon club grounds, where Lavazza will be offering tennis fans the chance to win a complimentary coffee at the ‘’Lavazza at the Hill’’ coffee shop via the digital game app.

Lavazza’s sustainability commitments include:

• An upcycled event structure, reused after the Championships.
• Living wall foliage, replanted after the Championships.
• Service wastewater, reused to water foliage.
• Sampling materials recycled or recyclable.
• Waste coffee grinds, used for fertiliser.

Lavazza ¡Tierra! is the coffee range that brings to life the sustainable projects of the Lavazza Foundation which helps coffee producers improve the quality of their products whilst encouraging the development of their entrepreneurial skills leading to a better future. Three blends comprise the Lavazza ¡Tierra! range for UK consumers to buy at home:
