International Coffee Day, established in 2015 by the International Coffee Organization (ICO), focuses on more than just celebration. It’s a global opportunity to recognize the farmers, producers and laborers behind every cup — and to promote fair and sustainable coffee practices around the world.

Each year, the ICO selects a theme to spotlight key issues in the coffee industry, from climate change to gender equity to economics resilience. It’s a time to pause and reflect on how coffee connects people across continents — and how every cup supports a global chain of hands and hearts.
The theme for International Coffee Day 2025 is “Embracing Collaboration More than Ever,” highlighting the need for unity and cooperation across the coffee industry to ensure sustainable practices and support farmers’ livelihoods. This theme calls for increased practical collaboration to address challenges and safeguard the coffee supply chain.
For coffee shop owners, International Coffee Day offers an opportunity to spotlight direct trade partnerships, share farmer stories or host tastings that explore origin and impact.
For coffee shop owners, Coffee Day is a perfect moment to celebrate the magic of this agricultural miracle with your own coffee community. Make sure to raise a mug this week — and maybe thank a farmer while you’re at it.
