Spotlight on Slow Coffee Festival in Bucharest
About this episode
In today’s episode, we speak with Afshin Roshanian, co-founder of Romania’s Slow Coffee Festival.
Now celebrating its 10th anniversary, Slow Coffee Festival has become one of Eastern Europe’s flagship specialty coffee events, bringing together the people behind the region’s thriving coffee community.
In this conversation, we explore the extraordinary rise of Romania as Europe’s fastest-growing coffee market. We also discuss how Slow Coffee Festival has evolved from a consumer-focused event into an international business platform, and the role that community plays in driving the industry’s growth.
