Now in its seventh year, Creative Coffee Week will be held in three cities in 2025 and kick off at the event's traditional homes, Durban 30 and 31. Durban's legs are headlined by world-class international coffee experts and won award-winning coffees ranging from Colombia to Kenya, Costa Rica, Thailand and our own homemade coffee.
Each event has a different focus, with the focus of this first event focusing on production, and it all depends on growing coffee. Day 1 will be hosted by FNB, a partner in the event.
For coffee lovers, this event is an opportunity to deepen their understanding of coffee. There is a meaning of the flavor profile and language, how it is processed, where it came from, where it came from. You will have the opportunity to interact with six globally respected coffee experts, South African coffee champions and influencers in one day. You will provide inspiration and information from Creative Coffee Week!
