October 1st is the International Coffee Day.
International Coffee Day reminds us each year that this popular beverage connects people all over the world. According to legend, coffee was first discovered by shepherds in Ethiopia, who noticed that their goats became unusually lively after eating the red berries of the coffee plant. From there, coffee spread to the Middle East and then throughout the world.
A specialty of Turkish tradition is the preparation of coffee in hot sand, where a small cezve is heated evenly from all sides. This creates a thick, aromatic drink with a distinctive foam on top.
A cup of fragrant coffee provides space for conversation, connection, and intercultural dialogue. It is a moment when people, despite different languages and backgrounds, share a common experience of warmth and hospitality.
On International Coffee Day, the MKD Association organized a special two-day event. We will share more with you in the coming days. Don’t miss it – keep following our channels.
