Yesterday was National Coffee Day in Colombia. And coffee isn’t just a hot drink or a morning wake-up call for Colombians; it is an important aspect of the country’s identity and heritage. Coffee directly employs 26% of all agricultural workers, creating jobs, providing income to more than 550,000 families, and allowing for the development of the countryside.
