Under the theme ‘Voices of Tea: From Source to Market’, producers, traders, brands, buyers, trade media and other key players in the international tea industry will gather in Berlin.
The programme will address key issues facing the European speciality tea market: business models and market development, sourcing and supply chain relationships, quality and knowledge sharing, as well as new product and consumption formats.
The programme includes panel discussions, keynote speeches, expert talks, international case studies, a B2B exhibition and moderated focus forums. It will bring together perspectives from the regions of origin with concrete experiences from trade and the market in Europe.
