Sydney Aroma Festival

Sydney-siders lover their coffee.



How do I know this? Because I just came back from the Sydney Aroma Festival. This was a big outdoor event showcasing the best of Sydney's and the World's spices, sauces, treats, and most importantly, coffee. There was Turkish coffee, Columbian coffee, native organic coffee, European coffee, Indonesian coffee, and even coffee suitable to recreate the iconic image of Marilyn Monroe seen above. It seemed as if nearly half the booths were focused on some niche coffee region or product.

The end result of all this is Sydney has some great coffee and cafes. Even I, the reluctant coffee drinker, have taken to enjoying the serenity of sitting down at a sidewalk cafe, in the afternoon sun, to enjoy a good ,long black*.

*Yes, if you look hard enough, you'll notice many things sound vaguely racist. Future post about this coming.
