Both coffee day in Japan and internationally

The All Japan Coffee Association, which works to further develop the coffee industry, established "Coffee Day" in Japan in 1983, to fall on October 1st annually. The date is the beginning of the "coffee year" established by international agreements. It is also the time when the coffee bean harvest is over and new coffee production begins, and the demand for coffee increases.

This day is also "International Coffee Day". It is a day to promote coffee as a beverage and is celebrated with various events around the world. This day was established by the International Coffee Organization (ICO) in 2014 by agreement of its member states, and was officially celebrated for the first time the following year, in 2015, at the Milan Expo. 

As a way to mark coffee day, how about enjoying the diverse flavors and cultures of coffee from different regions and indeed different countries around the world.  It may also be an opportunity to deepen your understanding of fair trade and sustainable coffee. It is a great day to indulge in a nice cup of hot or iced coffee with family and / or friends.
