On October 1, the world pauses to celebrate a ritual that connects us all: coffee.
More than just a drink, it’s the comforting aroma that greets us at dawn, the pause in the chaos of midday and the warmth of conversations shared across a table. Each cup tells a story - of farmers nurturing beans with care, roasters perfecting their craft and baristas turning routine into art.
International Coffee Day reminds us that coffee is community. It’s the quiet companion in solitary moments of reflection and the spark that fuels creativity and ambition. It carries the laughter of friends, the heartbeat of cities and the serenity of small towns.
On this day, let us raise our cups in gratitude - for the people behind every harvest and for the simple joy of coffee itself, which binds us in its timeless embrace.
Celebrate International Coffee Day with a caffeine hit complemented by pure maple syrup for a sweet start to your morning or a much-needed pick-me-up throughout the day.
Here are three recipes from Maple from Canada for a caffeine-hit to remember:
Change up your daily coffee ritual with the maple long black coffee. It’s simple, easy, smooth and of course bold for those who like to enjoy their coffee strong. Mix an espresso shot, hot water and pure Canadian maple syrup to best complement the rich espresso taste.
Get creative with your next coffee with a maple cold brew, enhanced with warming spices of cinnamon and cardamom. For a decadent finish be sure to top this recipe with whipped cream to create the classic Mont-Blanc café-style dollop to add a bit of indulgence to your coffee routine this International Coffee Day.
If you’ve jumped on the matcha train, then why not celebrate International Coffee Day slightly differently with a matcha in hand? Enjoy a refreshing morning drink without the coffee kick and treat yourself to a maple matcha latte made with sweet strawberry syrup.
Combine a shot of earthy matcha with pure Canadian maple syrup and your choice of milk before blending a cup of fresh strawberries, lemon juice and more maple syrup and fill the glass over a handful of ice.
