What Is International Coffee Day?
International Coffee Day is a global celebration of coffee’s journey from farm to cup. It’s a day to honour the hard work of coffee farmers and enjoy the rich flavors that coffee brings to our lives.
How it started
International Coffee Day was officially launched in 2015 by the International Coffee Organization (ICO). However, coffee days have been celebrated in various countries for years, with Japan marking its first official Coffee Day in 1983. The aim is to bring people together to appreciate coffee and its cultural significance worldwide.
