International Coffee Day
How will you celebrate International Coffee Day? The International Coffee Organization wants to know.
Oct. 1 is the day to honor both the coffee bean and the women and men who supply it to you. The International Coffee Organization and dozens of coffee associations around the world are making plans to celebrate this annual event.
The organization in 2015 consolidated celebrations in many countries with a new website listing 70 events in 35 countries. Officials are hoping even more festivities take place this year and encourage planners to submit their events on the International Coffee Day website.
The ICO offers some event suggestions including hosting a cupping, offering a special coffee day promotion, inviting a local coffee expert to speak and creating a fund-raising event.
They also encourage use of the hashtag #InternationalCoffeeDay on social media.
