SLOW COFFEE FESTIVAL 2024
27/05/2024
We enjoyed 3 full days at the Slow Coffee Festival filled with emotions, good talks, and joyful moments. From May 31 to June 2, we experienced everything from one-on-one discussions with coffee lovers to community conversations about building communities and the business of roasting, sharing our experiences and knowledge.
