Welcome Message:
Tired of the same old coffee routine? This week, we’re traveling the world—one cup at a time. Each day brings a new tradition, a fresh flavor, and a different way to pause with purpose. All you need is curiosity, your favorite mug, and a little global spirit.
Day 1: Ethiopia – Honor the Ritual
Tradition: Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony
Your Challenge: Roast or grind your beans fresh. Brew slowly. Sip three rounds of coffee in silence or shared reflection—no distractions.
Optional Pairing: Light popcorn or incense.
Day 2: Vietnam – Whisk It Up
Tradition: Cà Phê Trứng (Egg Coffee)
Your Challenge: Whisk an egg yolk with sugar until frothy. Pour it over strong brewed coffee. Sip slowly and treat it like dessert.
Vibe: Indulgent, cozy, decadent.
Day 3: Sweden – Savor the Pause
Tradition: Fika
Your Challenge: Set aside 15–30 minutes in your afternoon. Brew a coffee. Pair with a pastry. No work, no rushing. Just presence.
Intentional Thought: “How can I savor more often?”
Day 4: Senegal – Add a Little Spice
Tradition: Café Touba
Your Challenge: Add a pinch of selim pepper (or cloves, if unavailable) to your grounds before brewing. Sip with intention and consider coffee’s power as resistance and ritual.
Day 5: Italy – Espresso with Urgency
Tradition: Caffè al Banco
Your Challenge: Brew a short, strong espresso. Drink it standing, silently, and quickly—like a purposeful reset button.
Bonus: Reflect on one decision you’re procrastinating on. Take action.
Day 6: Turkey – Brew in Sand (or Simulate It)
Tradition: Turkish Coffee
Your Challenge: Brew finely ground coffee with sugar in a small pot (simmer slowly, don’t boil). Serve unfiltered in a small cup. Read the grounds afterward—for fun or meaning.
Day 7: Finland – The Cozy Experiment
Tradition: Kaffeost
Your Challenge: Drop cubes of mild cheese (like halloumi or mozzarella) into your hot coffee. Sip, chew, and embrace the unexpected.
Reflection Prompt: “What habits am I willing to change—or make weird—in the name of joy?”
