December – the month when your inbox fills with cheery out-of-office replies, your to-do list magically doubles, and everyone suddenly remembers that “quick project we meant to finish before January.” It’s the season of peppermint mochas, office potlucks, and sending that infamous “circling back before the holidays”… email.

Welcome back to another Café Session, where we mix a little coffee knowledge with a lot of seasonal flavor. As we wrap up the year and look ahead to January, the holidays are officially winding down—and hopefully everyone survived them, whether you loved every minute or were counting the days until life felt normal again. It’s that strange in-between moment where we’re reflecting on the year behind us, thinking about New Year’s resolutions, and quietly accepting that this might finally be the year we stop saying we’ll drink less coffee.
