I love being a part of unique events and projects, and no doubt, the most significant coffee festival in the Baltics - Vilnius Coffee Festival - is one of them!

Akvile Armonaite
Education Coordinator
2013 was the year when I started working with coffee, and now I still have a massive passion for everything that involves coffee. I have attended Barista camps, World of Coffee events, national championships, and I am eager to learn. I have been working with the Vilnius Coffee festival for four years, and three years in a row, I have coordinated the education space. I am happy to have an opportunity to spread the word about coffee and help to increase the knowledge of coffee in Lithuania. Coffee is about sharing, and it is about people - we have to share our knowledge to improve!
