STiR coffee and tea magazine, founded in 2012, is now the world’s leading magazine covering coffee and tea from the industry side.

STiR arose from the coffee and tea industry’s demand for a quality international magazine that takes its concerns to heart with a professional outlook and reporting edge. Built upon the success of the well-known and accepted Tea & Coffee Asia, which was launched in June 1999, STiR keeps the world’s coffee and tea businesses on top of the latest trends, abreast of the most recent technology, and one step ahead of growing competition.

The major focus of STiR coffee and tea is the concerns of coffee roasters and tea packers, tea leaf and coffee bean importers and exporters, and tea and coffee growers and plantations. Readers learn what manufacturing processes are being used, the latest packaging techniques, types of coffee and tea, which countries/companies are leading the way, and all the latest on the equipment, machinery, supplies, and services required to bring coffee and tea products to the marketplace.

Another major focus of the magazine is on coffee shops, tea shops, hotels, espresso bars, and cafes and what they need to set up their tea and coffee service business and how to improve that business. In every issue, you can expect to learn who is serving the latest coffee and tea brands, what flavors are popular, and what equipment they are using, as well as merchandising and trade innovations.
