Christmas Coffee Traditions from Around the World
Our love of coffee started at Christmas, with a deliciously roastd Christmas blend. It started with a bag and a mug, and quickly became our annual “stocking filler” tradition. But we weren’t the first to create a Christmas coffee tradition. Christmas coffee traditions vary around the world, highlighting cultural flavours and customs. In Sweden, “fika” (a coffee break) becomes extra cozy during Christmas, with friends and family gathering to enjoy strong coffee paired with saffron-infused “Lussekatter” buns. In Italy, festive coffee takes on a sweet twist with a dash of Sambuca or grappa shared after meals to celebrate the season’s warmth. Across Ethiopia, where coffee originated, the Christmas celebration “Ganna” includes an intricate coffee ceremony involving roasting, grinding, and brewing coffee beans fresh, symbolising hospitality and joy. Meanwhile, in Mexico, “café de olla” is a spiced coffee with cinnamon and piloncillo, often enjoyed during Christmas gatherings, creating a comforting and rich experience shared with loved ones.
So, go on, treat yourself to a cup of tradition wherever you are.
