What is a B2B Cupping?
At AFCA, we are committed to positioning the African fine coffee sector with a producer-forward agenda. For this very reason, we have been implementing Business-to-Business (B2B) Cuppings for over five years, providing a space for producers and exporters to meet with coffee buyers while their coffees are on the cupping table. The B2B Cupping Rooms are equipped with all your cupping needs, and onsite volunteers will be available to support with set-up and clean-up. Cupping sessions will last approximately one hour and 15 minutes, allowing sufficient time for cupping and networking. You are expected to bring the coffees and any onsite brandings, such as cupping cards and roll-up banners.
