Contexto cultural
The concept of 'fika' is inseparable from 'varm dryck'. It is a mandatory social break usually involving coffee or tea. While Swedes love coffee, the British 'hot drink' is overwhelmingly tea, often used as a remedy for any social or emotional shock. Japan has vending machines that serve 'varm dryck' (hot canned coffee/tea) indicated by a red label, which is a winter staple. Offering a hot drink (coffee or tea) is a fundamental law of hospitality; refusing it can sometimes be seen as impolite.
