International Coffee Day
October 1 · Level 6 · #1093 of 2238
International Coffee Day celebrates the drink and the people behind it, from growers and roasters to baristas. It offers a chance to look beyond a familiar morning ritual and consider both coffee traditions and the livelihoods that depend on the crop.
How it is celebrated: cafés hold tastings, roasters explain where their beans come from, and baristas demonstrate brewing methods. Campaigns also draw attention to farmers’ earnings and working conditions.
A coffee bean is actually a seed inside a fruit commonly called a coffee cherry. Your espresso begins with a fruit harvest.
