Nearly 41 tons of coffee was imported to Norway this year, meaning the country of just 4.5 million people is in the top ranks of coffee consumption on a per capita basis.
Perhaps it's the cold winters, or simply tradition in a country where it's common to invite people over simply for cake and coffee. The brew is a fixture at dinner parties, where it's common for dinner guests to leave the table after dessert and adjourn to another room for coffee, cake and often a cognac around smaller tables.
