Tea & Coffee Trade Journal is excited to host our 3rd Women in Tea & Coffee Conference, taking place in London on 5 May 2027. Women play important roles throughout the tea and coffee supply chains — from ‘bean and leaf to cup’. Coffee and tea are dynamic, global industries that offer exciting careers for women through many different types of jobs in all sectors that support both industries.
The inaugural Women in Tea & Coffee Conference (WiTCC) in 2025 focused on empowering women working within both industries. The United Nations declared 2026 the International Year of the Woman Farmer. Pursuant to this, the 2026 WiTCC highlighted evolving positions women are holding across the tea and coffee agrifood systems, from production to manufacturing.
Companies that are sustainable and viable are those that have productive – and happy – employees, and this cannot be achieved without healthy employees, both physically and mentally. To this end, the theme for the 2027 Women in Tea & Coffee Conference will be Navigating the Work/Life Balance, where sessions will explore ways in which women can manage their careers and their health and wellness. There will also be a special session on accessing financing for women, both at origin and on the manufacturing/consuming side.
The one-day conference will offer lectures, panel discussions, coffee and tea workshops, and networking opportunities in an intimate and collaborative setting. We hope you are able to join us for the 3rd Women in Tea & Coffee Conference at The View in London on 5 May 2027.
We are working on the agenda for 2027. Please check back here for updates.
