With the recent launch of Starbucks <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://stories.starbucks.ca/en/stories/2021/starbucks-canada-expands-menu-with-non-dairy-delights-this-winter/" target="_blank">new winter menu</a>, which helps customers find the right beverage and food choices to&nbsp; fit their lifestyle and taste preferences, Starbucks invites customers to pair their new favourite winter beverage with mindfulness this season. Starbucks and Headspace are giving coffee lovers access to a curated series of bespoke meditations meant to create a more intentionally restorative coffee break. The series is narrated by Headspace Director of Meditation, Eve Lewis, who speaks to topics like engaging your senses by focusing and smelling the aroma of your coffee or taking a screen break and enjoying a guided meditation on your daily coffee walk.&nbsp;
