I guess it’s not surprising that Coffee – with its millions, perhaps billions, of fans worldwide – also has a day dedicated to its enjoyment. Come with me as I explore the ins and outs of International Coffee Day and present some interesting facts about the beverage the Bean begat!
International Coffee Day is currently observed in a couple of dozen countries – both Coffee producers and Coffee consumers – and most celebrate it on September 29 or October 1.
Wikipedia, the Internet repository of all things thingly, goes on to say:
On this day, many businesses around the world offer free or discounted cups of coffee. Some businesses share coupons and special deals with their loyal followers via social networking.Some greeting card companies sell National Coffee Day greeting cards as well as free e-cards to help celebrate the occasion.
