Field Day

As we gather for our event at origin, we recognize the immense value in coming together to explore, learn, and grow within the coffee industry. That is why we are thrilled to announce an exciting alliance between Sintercafe and World Coffee Research (WCR) for a remarkable field trip!

Joining forces with WCR, a global leader in coffee research and innovation, amplifies our commitment to fostering sustainable practices and driving positive change within our community, giving a broader chance to our participants to go out to the field.

Together, we embark on a journey to deepen our understanding of coffee cultivation, sustainability initiatives, and the vital role of research in shaping the future of our beloved industry.

This collaborative field trip promises enriching experiences, insightful discussions, and meaningful connections with fellow coffee enthusiasts and experts.
