Hey, coffee lovers! Did you know that August is National Coffee Month? It's the perfect time to celebrate our love for coffee and discover new brews. Let's delve into the wonderful world of coffee production and enjoy our favorite brew with friends. Remember to mark your calendars for National Coffee Day on September 29 and International Coffee Day on October 1 - it's a coffee lover's dream come true!


Today, I want to share with you a charming tradition from Sweden called fika (pronounced fee-ka). It's all about taking a break to relish a steaming cup of coffee paired with delicious treats like cinnamon buns or cookies. The smell of coffee, the sight of mouth-watering pastries, and the joy of sharing them with friends or colleagues turn this break into a special tradition focused on relaxation and connection. So, brew a strong pot of coffee, grab some treats, and take a moment to unwind and enjoy fika!
