Now through May 13, 2007
· Caribou Coffee is proud to once again feature Amy's Blend, a special
coffee that pays tribute to Amy Erickson, one of our early
Roastmasters. Amy's pursuit of coffee excellence helped lay the
foundation for the company Caribou Coffee is today.
Although Amy succumbed to breast cancer in 1995, her passion for our
product remains one of the cornerstones of our company's culture. In
celebration of her wonderful spirit, Amy's Blend supports breast
cancer education and awareness.
We are excited to announce a new partnership with the Susan G. Komen
Foundation this year. The Susan G. Komen for the Cure's mission is to
save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people,
ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the
cures. Caribou Coffee will donate 10% of Amy's Blend Sales up to
$100,000 to Komen for the Cure in 2007 (and have guaranteed a minimum
contribution of $100,000). We are expecting to have a marketing
partner for our Amy's Blend campaign this year to match our
contribution to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
· Bright-spirited and cheery, the Amy's Blend combines citrus high
notes with a smooth harmonious silkiness. Underneath it all is a
subtle yet delightful hint of melon flavor. Amy's is a lighter roast
(a shade lighter than our Colombia) made up of beans from Africa and
the Americas. The specific coffees that make up this blend are
Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Ethiopia Yirgacheffe, and Kenya AA.
This special coffee is truly a tribute to one of Caribou Coffee's
pioneers. Amy's Blend (regular, not decaf) is now a Rainforest
Alliance certified coffee! The price for a pound of regular Amy's
Blend is $13.99 and a pound of decaf is $14.99.
· Amy's Blend Gift Sets - NEW!
· This year, we are offering two Amy's Blend gift sets just in time
for Mother's Day! Like the coffee, 10% of these sales up to $100,000
will go to the Susan G. Komen for a Cure.
· The first gift set has a pound of Amy's Blend (regular) and an Amy's
Blend travel mug.
· The unique feature about the mug is that the bottom unscrews to
allow the paper inside to come out and be customized-a photo or
anything else can be put on the insert and slide it back into the mug.
This means the mug cannot be put in the dishwasher or microwave.
· The gift set is the only way to get the tumbler during the Spring
Promotion (quantities of mug were limited). Retail $18.99
· The second gift set has a sample pack of Amy's Blend and a bag of
pink and white chocolate mint candy (Holland Mints). Retail $5.99
