The Rich History and Tradition of Thanksgiving Coffee: A Journey with River’s Bend Coffee Roasters
Celebrating a Time-Honored Tradition
As the leaves turn and the air cools, Thanksgiving emerges as a symbol of gratitude and gathering. At River’s Bend Coffee Roasters, we cherish this time of year and the rich traditions that come with it, including the beloved ritual of Thanksgiving coffee.
A Cup Steeped in History
The tradition of Thanksgiving coffee is deeply rooted in American culture, intertwining with the history of Thanksgiving itself. When the Pilgrims shared their first harvest meal with the Wampanoag tribe in 1621, coffee was not yet a part of the American landscape. It wasn’t until the 18th century that coffee found its way to the American colonies, gradually becoming a staple in households.
The Role of Coffee in Thanksgiving Celebrations
Over the centuries, coffee has grown to become an integral part of Thanksgiving celebrations. As families gather around the table, a warm cup of coffee often accompanies the slice of pumpkin pie, creating a moment of comfort and reflection. It’s a beverage that warms the body and heart, encouraging a sense of togetherness and gratitude.
