Kafijas diena is an educational coffee event in Riga at the Palm House of the University of Latvia Botanical Garden on 24 October 2026. In the lecture, botanist Vineta Vērpēja will explain why plants need caffeine, discussing the coffee plant’s development and distribution in the wild, as well as other plants that contain this stimulating substance. During the coffee workshop, Aura Coffee experts will introduce the basics of coffee culture, bean varieties and growing regions, and explain how they affect flavour. The programme also includes demonstrations of brewing methods and a tasting of three freshly ground coffees, with guidance on identifying aromas and flavour profiles.
