Participated at the event hosted by Bányai Coffee, MONYO, Mad Dog and the Food Rescue team.  Found out that the way of coffee – Circular Coffee is not just a drink. Just put aside everything you have ever thought about coffee and “hear about” the route from the coffee bush to the coffee grounds.
Prehaps new information to many that in addition to the coffee bean, the flesh fruit is also a source of many valuable nutrients and flavor, which ended up on the coffee fields ground.  Imagen  a sherry compaired to a coffee fruit … inside the cherry is the nut whilst inside the flesh of the fruit that surrounds the coffee bean.  Hot drinks, new-wave soft drinks and even crisps were prepared to present new flavors and the power of upcycling with the tasting!
The event was hosted by Bányai Coffee, MONYO, Mad Dog and the Food Rescue team.

Four Hungarian brands – Bányai Coffee, MONYO Brewing Co., Mad Dog Coffee and the “Ételmentő” (which is a Hungarian word that stands for “Food Rescue” in English), joined forces to show how every part of coffee can be turned into a gastronomic delight.

At the event the exhibitors told in recent decades, sustainability and circularity have been increasingly emphasized in the food industry and of one of the favorit hot drinks the coffee more and more efforts towards this. During the cultivation and processing of coffee, a number of raw materials and by-products are produced, which until now we might not even have thought of how valuable they can be. One such example is Cascara,  as  a/m  the dried version of the flesh of the fruit that surrounds the coffee bean. Traditionally, this flesh surrounding the coffee greens was often discarded or composted. However, due to the growing interest in sustainability, cascara’s potential is being recognized in more and more places.

Cascara is rich in nutrients such as caffeine, antioxidants and vitamins. The coffee fruit with its fig and date-like aroma …  (sourced from Bányai Coffee’s plantation in Costa Rica). Has antioxidant content and energizing effects. A unique refreshment not only to bare the heat during hot summer but throughout the year.  Thanks to upcycling, these valuable materials can be given new life. In this way  not only protect our environment by reducing waste,  and create special and nutritious products that conquer with a unique taste and contribute as an additional source of income to the livelihood of those working on the plantations.

Casacara by Monyo Coke Soda is now also available in Hungary. Packed 0.33-liter aluminum cans. Once you tasted it will go for more… so yummy and refreshing.

The “Golden Years” … drama … feel good comedy … mystery movie that show audiences it is never-too-late-to find happiness.

Alice and Peter are celebrating their retirement. When their children gift them with a cruise on the Mediterranean, they look forward to this new phase in their lives. But then Alice’s best friend Magalie dies unexpectedly and Alice discovers that she had been having a secret affair in France for 15 years. Plunged into an existential crisis, Peter becomes a health fanatic, to hedonist Alice’s chagrin. So, when Peter invites Magalie’s widowed husband Heinz to join them on the cruise, which Alice had hoped would breathe new life into their marriage, their harmonious retirement is over and pent-up frustrations bubble to the surface. While Peter spends time with Heinz, Alice leaves the cruise trip through the Mediterranean and heads onwards shore excursion to Marseille and it is only on their separate paths of self-discovery that the couple find unexpected new ways to spend their golden years.

The Swiss quality of life completely in many ways different content from a Hungarian couple to forward to their new phase in thie lives. Yet enjoyable and giving audience in mind similar situation they have had already lived through. Just watching the movie surely gives smiles and understanding the difference nomatter where you reach the well-deserved retirement age.
