The Bite (Issue 62): In defense of holiday coffee blends

Plus, our favorite holiday cookies This was the year that I fell hard for [seasonal coffee](~/AASU4wA~/RgRliXzdP0RmaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMveGc2b214NG9mbS8_bGhfYWlkPTM0NTA5JmxoX2NpZD0zcG4wcWdwNDFyJmxoX2VtPXRyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1JTQwZ21haWwuY29tVwNzcGNCCmOi3femYzR-JQtSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1QGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAJQ~~).

Where many all-year coffees boast[lighter fruity and floral notes](~/AASU4wA~/RgRliXzdP0RmaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvd3J5YWJmdGdmaC8_bGhfYWlkPTM0NTA5JmxoX2NpZD0zcG4wcWdwNDFyJmxoX2VtPXRyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1JTQwZ21haWwuY29tVwNzcGNCCmOi3femYzR-JQtSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1QGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAJQ~~), holiday blends lean deep into flavor profiles rich with [cinnamon](~/AASU4wA~/RgRliXzdP0RmaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvc3R2OHRmM2Y5Zy8_bGhfYWlkPTM0NTA5JmxoX2NpZD0zcG4wcWdwNDFyJmxoX2VtPXRyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1JTQwZ21haWwuY29tVwNzcGNCCmOi3femYzR-JQtSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1QGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAJQ~~), ginger, dried stone fruit, sweet molasses and [vanilla](~/AASU4wA~/RgRliXzdP0RmaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvZHBkdzQ0c3IxMi8_bGhfYWlkPTM0NTA5JmxoX2NpZD0zcG4wcWdwNDFyJmxoX2VtPXRyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1JTQwZ21haWwuY29tVwNzcGNCCmOi3femYzR-JQtSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1QGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAJQ~~). I’m big into seasonality when it comes to much of what I eat and drink. I have warm-weather and cold-weather bourbons on my home bar, and we all know that an [Aperol spritz](~/AASU4wA~/RgRliXzdP0RmaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvZ3VxNjFpZnhuby8_bGhfYWlkPTM0NTA5JmxoX2NpZD0zcG4wcWdwNDFyJmxoX2VtPXRyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1JTQwZ21haWwuY29tVwNzcGNCCmOi3femYzR-JQtSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1QGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAJQ~~) hits differently in June than it does in January. But for the longest time, my coffee didn’t really change from season to season. In fact, for most of the year, I do still tend to drink the bulk of my coffee one particular way: [cold-brewed](~/AASU4wA~/RgRliXzdP0RmaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvMDE3eHdwcDg5dC8_bGhfYWlkPTM0NTA5JmxoX2NpZD0zcG4wcWdwNDFyJmxoX2VtPXRyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1JTQwZ21haWwuY29tVwNzcGNCCmOi3femYzR-JQtSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1QGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAJQ~~)and black. I think it’s partially a holdover from my local newsroom days when the barista at the neighborhood coffee shop would see me walk in and ask, “Going to be a long news day?” Even if I just nodded, she would wordlessly begin to make another cold brew and send me on my way with two. But something about the pandemic and how time began to feel — to paraphrase Nietschze by way of “[True Detective](~/AASU4wA~/RgRliXzdP0RmaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvdzk5Z3BteXl3My8_bGhfYWlkPTM0NTA5JmxoX2NpZD0zcG4wcWdwNDFyJmxoX2VtPXRyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1JTQwZ21haWwuY29tVwNzcGNCCmOi3femYzR-JQtSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1QGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAJQ~~)” protagonist Rustin Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) — more and more like an endless flat circle, I started seeking out small ways to mark seasonality. I bought my first sets of holiday decorations, lit candles that smelled of their respective seasons and decided it was time to change up my coffee game, too. One of the most iconic holiday blends is [Starbucks Christmas Blend](~/AASU4wA~/RgRliXzdP0RCaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvY3V0ZnpqNXZsaS8_bGhfYWlkPTM0NTA5JmxoX2NpZD0zcG4wcWdwNDFyVwNzcGNCCmOi3femYzR-JQtSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1QGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAJQ~~), which was introduced in 1984, long before the introduction of the Peppermint Mocha or red holiday cups. And while, as Heidi Piper [wrote for the company](~/AASU4wA~/RgRliXzdP0RCaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvMGRweXFyeWltbS8_bGhfYWlkPTM0NTA5JmxoX2NpZD0zcG4wcWdwNDFyVwNzcGNCCmOi3femYzR-JQtSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1QGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAJQ~~) in 2020, the Starbucks “holiday coffee family has grown to include new varieties like Starbucks Holiday Blend and Christmas Blend Espresso Roast,” the original Christmas blend is still on offer, featuring “sweet, velvety notes of spiced chocolate and spruce tips.” Like Starbucks, national coffee chain [Dunkin’ DonutsÂ](~/AASU4wA~/RgRliXzdP0RmaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvNGpoMGV2Y3AyNS8_bGhfYWlkPTM0NTA5JmxoX2NpZD0zcG4wcWdwNDFyJmxoX2VtPXRyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1JTQwZ21haWwuY29tVwNzcGNCCmOi3femYzR-JQtSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1QGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAJQ~~)has dipped into the holiday blend category, debuting a new holiday blend in 2021. [Per the company](~/AASU4wA~/RgRliXzdP0RCaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMveXhlbmY2ZXA3ZS8_bGhfYWlkPTM0NTA5JmxoX2NpZD0zcG4wcWdwNDFyVwNzcGNCCmOi3femYzR-JQtSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1QGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAJQ~~), it is a “bright medium roast blend made using quality [Colombian and Ethiopian coffeeÂ](~/AASU4wA~/RgRliXzdP0RmaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvazFzcWRpNnFudi8_bGhfYWlkPTM0NTA5JmxoX2NpZD0zcG4wcWdwNDFyJmxoX2VtPXRyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1JTQwZ21haWwuY29tVwNzcGNCCmOi3femYzR-JQtSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1QGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAJQ~~)beans. It makes a special cup of coffee inspired by classic holiday desserts from different cultures around the world like gingerbread, fruitcake, and warm molasses pie with its flavor notes of sweet molasses and dried fruit that’s made to spark your spirit.” Over the last decade or so, there’s also been an influx of roasteries releasing Hanukkah blends, including [Roasting Rabbi’s Hanukkah Blend](~/AASU4wA~/RgRliXzdP0RCaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMveGlmaDliZnIybC8_bGhfYWlkPTM0NTA5JmxoX2NpZD0zcG4wcWdwNDFyVwNzcGNCCmOi3femYzR-JQtSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1QGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAJQ~~). The blue packaging is decorated with dreidels and the quip: “Enough to last 8 days!*Ok, not an actual guarantee. Oye! Now call your mother.” Relatedly, one of the hallmarks of a holiday blend, according to some coffee pros, is that it is approachable to everyone whom you’re hosting for the holidays. As Claire Wampler, barista at Joe Coffee, told[ Food52 in 2015](~/AASU4wA~/RgRliXzdP0RCaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvdjBlbTlsZHdkYy8_bGhfYWlkPTM0NTA5JmxoX2NpZD0zcG4wcWdwNDFyVwNzcGNCCmOi3femYzR-JQtSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1QGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAJQ~~), “it's often a sweet, approachable coffee that [your] mom or dad or grandma, who drink zesty coffees, will drink.” Another key component of the holiday blend is, of course, its festive packaging. Classic brown coffee bags are traded in for sparkles, stars, winter greenery and pops of red, green, silver and gold. One of my personal favorite examples is from Chicago roaster Dark Matter. Their [Old Dank Nic Holidank blend](~/AASU4wA~/RgRliXzdP0RCaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvY2xyaGlyb3Z3eS8_bGhfYWlkPTM0NTA5JmxoX2NpZD0zcG4wcWdwNDFyVwNzcGNCCmOi3femYzR-JQtSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1QGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAJQ~~) (I know, I know — the name is a whole thing) is stashed in a bag that features a watercolor-style illustration of a very…[toasty-looking](~/AASU4wA~/RgRliXzdP0RmaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvZjNvanQ0OGRpZi8_bGhfYWlkPTM0NTA5JmxoX2NpZD0zcG4wcWdwNDFyJmxoX2VtPXRyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1JTQwZ21haWwuY29tVwNzcGNCCmOi3femYzR-JQtSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1QGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAJQ~~) Santa smoking a pipe and decorating a wispy, green Christmas tree. But don’t let the packaging dissuade you from taking holiday blends into the new year. The forecast is calling for more snow on my side of the country — I believe the weatherman called it a “nightmare before and after Christmas” when I tuned in this morning — so why wouldn’t I want to curl up under an electric blanket with a sweet, approachable coffee that tastes of [gingerbreadÂ](~/AASU4wA~/RgRliXzdP0RmaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvcTZtcXFyeDRzaC8_bGhfYWlkPTM0NTA5JmxoX2NpZD0zcG4wcWdwNDFyJmxoX2VtPXRyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1JTQwZ21haWwuY29tVwNzcGNCCmOi3femYzR-JQtSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1QGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAJQ~~)and toasted vanilla until the snow melts sometime in March? In this issue of The Bite, Salon Food’s weekly newsletter, I’m going to be sharing some of my favorite holiday recipes from our archives (most of them are cookies that would be delightful with a cup of good coffee, for what it’s worth).

What to make for dinner this weekend One of my family’s favorite holiday traditions is to make an Italian-inspired feast over the Christmas holiday. The centerpiece is always lasagna. It is after all, as Salon’s Michael La Corte wrote, the “[unimpeachable victor of Italian-American comfort food](~/AASU4wA~/RgRliXzdP0RmaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvZ25manZqdTc4cC8_bGhfYWlkPTM0NTA5JmxoX2NpZD0zcG4wcWdwNDFyJmxoX2VtPXRyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1JTQwZ21haWwuY29tVwNzcGNCCmOi3femYzR-JQtSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1QGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAJQ~~).” Let’s say that you’re in a part of the country where you’re homebound because of cold and snow and don’t have all the “traditional” lasagna ingredients on hand. Have no fear, writes La Corte. “As long as you're layering in some capacity, nearly anything can be deemed a ‘lasagna’ — butternut squash planks in place of lasagna noodles, vegan cheese instead of standard ricotta and mozzarella, vodka instead of marinara, ground pork or chicken instead of beef, additions of spinach or chard — the list goes on and on,” he wrote. “Tweak as you see fit and depending on the size of your family, and you'll have lots of terrific leftovers, too!
