About TCACONNECT FOUNDATION
The Organization
TCACONNECT (TCA點觸), a registered Chapter-88 not-for-profit organization ('NGO') under The Coffee Academics Group, is a global community outreach initiative. It is a platform for community stakeholders on various causes to leverage TCA's five value ecosystem — coffee, workforce, community, space, and business partners — at informal forums, workshops, coffee initiatives, and sharing sessions amid stimulating coffee aromas. Topics range from direct trade to the plant-based food trend, from best practices in zero-waste to more significant sustainability trends, from technology to minority empowerment, with many more to come. Each year, we allocate dedicated resources to facilitate and encourage volunteer works on topics that concern us and the world.
