Our International Coffee Day Celebration with the best coffee beans in Johannesburg!

Date

International Coffee Day is celebrated on 1st October annually. This year ICD weekend starts on Friday, 29 September and concludes on Sunday, 1 October. Thousands of individuals and coffee associations from around the world will come together to celebrate the third annual International Coffee Day. Royal Coffee Roasters in Edenvale, Johannesburg are proud to announce that we are celebrating this day with our heart and soul.

International Coffee Day is a global celebration of coffee’s journey from the coffee farm to your local shop. It’s an opportunity to honour those who grow and harvest the coffee we love.

Why does Royal Coffee Roasters celebrate International Coffee Day?

Royal Coffee Roasters appreciate superior quality coffee from around the world – from Colombia to India. Coffee is our way of life and we’re pretty sure that most of you can relate. We believe that it’s our contribution to a functioning world and a livelihood to many.

Can you imagine yourself without your first cup of coffee early in the morning or during the day? I’m sure that you too have no idea of how your day will proceed without it. Coffee isn’t just another enjoyable beverage, but rather a part of our daily lives – our strength, our social companion, our needed friend.

Coffee is important to us, and we realise its importance to you, hence the fresh hand-roasting method. It’s a culture, a lifestyle in various countries even though we all speak different languages, have diverse cultures – coffee remains our common interconnection.

This weekend, as with any other day, Royal Coffee Roasters invite you to our coffee shop at the Stoneridge Centre, in Greenstone Park, Edenvale. Choose your favourite coffee and enjoy with your fellow-coffee lovers. Take a selfie and post it to our Facebook page or tag us @www.royalcoffee.co.za to celebrate with us!
