Charleston Coffee Roasters this week announced that it has added two new coffee blends to their product lineup available at most Harris Teeter locations. The company says each option gives back to coastal conservation.
The Aquarium Blend is described as “an organic medium roast of Peruvian and Honduran beans slow roasted to a creamy profile, resulting in a well-balanced coffee with a smooth finish that's sweet and citrusy.” Beach House Blend, the other new option, is “an organic dark roast of Colombian French, Sumatra, and Mexican beans that has a rich, smooth profile, bold taste and strong finish.”
This community effort is spearheaded by friends and longtime Charleston residents Mary Alice Monroe, the New York Times bestselling author of nearly 30 books with more than 8 million copies in print worldwidem and Lowell D. Grosse, the Founder and President of Charleston Coffee Roasters.
Charleston Coffee Roasters says they are continuing their commitment to supporting the efforts of the South Carolina Aquarium through their business. They are the lead sponsor of the Nutritional Care Program at the Aquarium, which supplies more than 200 pounds of food daily for nearly 5,000 resident animals and sea turtles undergoing rehabilitation in the Sea Turtle Care Center.
“We developed Aquarium Blend to celebrate our partnership with the South Carolina Aquarium because their conservation efforts are very important to us and the community at large,” said Grosse. “We are thrilled that Harris Teeter is expanding distribution of these unique coffees to stores across North and South Carolina, Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, Florida, and Washington, D.C.”
Monroe echoed those sentiments.
“My readers generously embrace my devotion to the environment and animal conservation, which are hallmarks of many of my novels,” she said. “With Beach House Blend, my fans can now enjoy one of my culinary passions – coffee. I am honored to support Lowell's vision of giving back to my beloved Aquarium and its Sea Turtle Care Center through Charleston Coffee Roasters. That's one powerful cup of coffee!”
