Coffee sale from the coffee house or coffee bean sales.
My coffee house is slow in Jan to about mid march. But that doesn't mean I do not have business. It is slower month in January because of the all the holidays. February is shorter month and March gets most of the business back. In summer, we sell tons of cold drinks and winter we sell tons of hot drinks like everyone else....

Are you lookng for information about fluctuations in volume or the variety of drinks sold?
CoffeeJunky's experience is similar to mine when it comes to the volume of sales throughout the months.
As far as drink variety goes ......
Winter= lots of hot coffee and not much iced coffee.
Summer= lots of hot coffee in the morning, through lunch time, and then many people switch to iced coffee drinks.
Spring and Fall= both hot and iced coffee based on the weather for the day.
Chilly rainy days= lots of hot coffee
Warm humid days=lots of iced coffee

So basically I would like to understand if weather plays a huge role in coffee bean sales. Do colder areas consume more coffee than warmer areas. How does this influence the coffee culture? Does europe consume a lot of coffee cause it is cold or because the coffee culture is mature. Or cause they put it through their process plants to make instant and then ship it all over the world again?

Not specific to sales, but here is a link to a site that goes over all the harvest seasons in different countries. Very interesting to see how it differs in different countries...

Coffee beans sales are present throughout the year, but in colder weather it sells out a lot more.
Being in a cold area/place/country doesn't always mean high sales because it would depend on their culture. Other places aren't like the US where coffee is almost a staple. It may even be unheard of...what they have is tea.
