Nepal wakes up today with the rich aroma of freshly brewed pride: it’s National Coffee Day, celebrated every year on 1 Mangsir. What started as a small initiative to uplift local farmers has now grown into a nationwide moment of appreciation for the people, places, and passion behind Nepal’s rapidly rising coffee scene.

From the mid-hills of Gulmi and Syangja to the lush farms of Palpa, Nuwakot, Makwanpur, and Sindhupalchok, Nepali coffee has quietly but confidently carved out a space on the global map. Our homegrown beans, known for their distinct aroma, smooth acidity, and naturally sweet finish, are now attracting both international buyers and local loyalists.

National Coffee Day isn’t just about sipping a good cup — it’s about celebrating the ecosystem that makes it possible. The farmers who handpick each cherry. The entrepreneurs building Nepali cafes everywhere from Kathmandu to Pokhara. The roasters experimenting with flavor. The baristas turning every cup into an experience. Together, they’ve shaped a culture that blends tradition, innovation, and community.

Across the country, cafes are marking the day with special brews, discounts, workshops, and latte-art throwdowns. Social media is buzzing too, with coffee lovers sharing their favorite cups and spotlighting local brands that deserve more love.

As Nepal’s coffee industry continues to grow, National Coffee Day serves as a sweet reminder: the world is starting to take notice – and we’re just getting started.

So here’s to Nepali coffee: bold, homegrown, and brewed with heart.
