STiR coffee and tea 13
Coffee (and a growing number of tea) professionals from around the globe
gathered in Boston, Massachusetts in early April at the 33rd annual
Specialty Coffee Expo (https://coffeeexpo.org), America's largest coffee
trade show and host of the US Coffee Championships (www.uscoffeecham-
pionships.org). This year's show returned in full swing with over 10,000
attendees, 420 exhibiting companies, and 250 volunteers. Exhibitors
travelled from 40 countries of which 20 were coffee producing countries.
Across the three days, attendees had over 60 lectures and 30 workshops to
choose from to expand their coffee knowledge.
Attendees were able to network on the show floor again and discover the
new innovations and products from the industry. This year's event put a
spotlight on Costa Rica, featured as the official "Portrait Country", a designa-
tion given to a different coffee producing country at the expo every year.
The 2022 Best New Product Competition recognized nine new products
in nine different categories, judged on their quality and value to the specialty
coffee and tea industry. Also awarded at the expo, the Coffee Design Awards
recognized three companies for great design in spaces, brand, and packaging.
