With the fall equinox, we welcome back the coziest of all autumn things: layers. Late September brings a gentle coolness back into our lives and we gratefully hunt through long-buried clothes for our favorite sweaters and flannels. Meanwhile, our sock families in far-flung places prepare for the rains, first snows and inaugural fireplace lightings that signal the season’s change. 

At CoffeeSock’s home in Austin, TX, we are practically giddy to welcome warm beverages back into our morning routines. OK - some of us kept sipping away at hot coffee no matter how high the heat, but for most of us, iced teas and coffees have been the go-tos since early May. But that’s one of cold brews many beauties, you can heat it up. It goes from afternoon cold to morning hot in 5 minutes. Cold brew has layers. And if you’re layer-crazy like we are, add a cinnamon stick or a hint of vanilla. Or cozy up to a camp fire or hearth with a coffee and a hint of Irish whiskey.

Whether the advent of fall brings a reprieve from sweltering heat or a nudge to prepare for winter, happy Autumn friends!
