September 29th is National Coffee Day.

This particular day aims to appreciate the art of coffee making, the farmers who cultivate the beans, and the baristas who perfect the brewing process. Coffee lovers also take the opportunity to learn about the beverage's history and the importance of fair trade and sustainable practices in the coffee industry.

While the exact origins of National Coffee Day remain unclear, it is believed to have originated in Japan in 1983 as a way to promote the coffee industry. In Canada, the celebration ties in closely with the nation's strong coffee culture, which enjoys a high per capita consumption of coffee. One significant aspect of National Coffee Day in Canada is raising awareness of and support for local coffee roasters and acknowledging the impact of ethical and sustainable sourcing on the coffee supply chain.

According to Coffee Association of Canada, 71% of Canadians consume coffee daily, with an average consumption of 2.7 cups per day. In addition to being one of the most coffee-consuming nations, Canada also ranks 10th in coffee imports globally.
