This past November, the global coffee community virtually gathered at Sintercafe to share insights, challenges and opportunities in this evolving world.

However, there are challenges, including a decline in black tea purchases, poor out-of-home experiences and limited awareness about the incredible stories and experiences that tea has to offer.
