The winners of “A Travel To The World Of Coffee” – Part 1
October 1st is the biggest coffee celebration, the International Coffee Day. We celebrate our love and passion for specialty coffee. This year we made a contest and for sixteen days “We traveled to the World of Coffee”! The test of the five specialty single origin 100% Arabica coffees was a prerequisite for the valid participation in the competition and the three winners were selected after a draw.
Seventeen days later the three winners were announced and we met them to tell us how they feel that they were drawn among thousands of participants.
SAPARIDIS YIORGOS – A trip to Brazil
*The coffee was purchased at the coffee store in Foinika in Thessaloniki.
“I feel excited and at the same time very lucky that something I so passionately wished from the first time I saw the contest became a reality, the trip to Brazil is a wonderful idea of Coffee Island. I also enjoyed my consistency of completing all the words of the contest. I feel that something wonderful is waiting for us there! (Who knows? Maybe I will become a farmer !!!)
P.S. “I’m going to travel with my true gem … my partner! I have to sketch a way to carry all those pairs of Havaianas flip-flop for my friends and relatives!!!
