instant coffee.

Cover Photo: This surreal image
reflects the craftsmanship, movement,
and transformation of coffee — from
origin to cup. The artwork symbolizes
the interconnected global supply
chains, innovation, trade, and creativity
that have shaped the coffee and tea
industries — themes explored
throughout STiR for the past 14 years.
