This blend of three coffees from Central America—one washed, one honey, one natural—is a rich light roast with a round body and crisp acidity. Aromas of black cherry and candied almond greet you, followed by notes of dark honey, prune, and more black cherry in the brewed cup. Meyer lemon acidity and a sandalwood note in the finish invite you to keep sipping. This winter, net profits from sales of Per Aspera will benefit Harvesters Community Food Network, a 501(c)3 nonprofit food bank and certified member of Feeding America based in Topeka, KS, and Kansas City, MO. Harvesters gathers food and household products for distribution to more than 760 nonprofit agencies, including emergency food pantries, community kitchens, homeless shelters, children’s homes, and more. They also offer education programs to increase awareness of hunger and teach about good nutrition. About Per Aspera Taking its name from Kansas' state motto—Ad Astra Per Aspera, or "to the stars through difficulties"—our Benefit Blend evolves seasonally, with 100% of net profits donated to organizations dedicated to fostering positive social change. We focus on Kansas-based causes, but also take into consideration organizations that address inequities along the global specialty coffee supply chain. Is there an organization making positive change in your community that you would like to nominate for a future fundraising period? Feel free to email your suggestion to [email protected].
