Exploring the Latest Seasonal Coffee Trends

As the crisp air rolls in and cozy vibes take over, coffee lovers are once again preparing for the seasonal shift in flavors and experiences that make fall and winter so special. Whether you’re drawn to spiced lattes or indulgent hot chocolates, these cooler months offer the perfect excuse to elevate your coffee game with rich, seasonal ingredients and festive flair.

From spiced lattes to festive brews, here are the top seasonal coffee trends taking over your mug this fall and winter:

1. Pumpkin Spice Revival

While it may be a classic, pumpkin spice is more popular than ever. Expect to see it in everything from lattes and cold brews to baked goods and syrups, with the comforting blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove taking center stage. Did you know that smell is one of the most powerful triggers for memory and emotion? Pumpkin spice has a way of bringing a warm, inviting aroma that creates an instant connection to fall—and the good vibes that come with it.

Try Maud's Pumpkin Spice Medium Roast Coffee or the new Maud's Pumpkin Spice Latte. 

2. Salted Caramel Indulgence

Sweet and savory combos are big this season, with salted caramel topping the list. Expect rich, buttery flavors paired with just a hint of sea salt in everything from creamy lattes to iced coffees and even desserts. There's something incredibly comforting about the creamy richness of caramel. When paired with a dash of sea salt, it transforms into an indulgence that's both luxurious and familiar—perfect for those moments when you're craving a little treat or something extra special.
