Will benefit Jameson Animal Rescue Ranch
St. Helena and Napa, April 2016 — As part of its custom of creating specialized blends for wineries, restaurants and non-profit organizations, Napa Valley Coffee Roasting Company has created a customized blend for Jameson Animal Rescue Ranch. “The Rescue Ranch Roast is available now at both of our locations for $15.95 per 12 ounce bag,” explains Doug Dunlap, General Manager, Napa Valley Coffee Roasting Company. Twenty per cent of the sales will be donated to the charity.
“The Rescue Ranch Roast is a combination of our Sumatra, Ethiopian, and French coffee beans,” Dunlap adds. “This blend is medium bodied with bold, winey flavors and a slightly sweet finish.” The blend was created in a coffee tasting session with Monica Stevens, the Executive Director and Co-Founder of JARR and Brenda Burke, Manager of Community Outreach. “We enjoyed the process of creating the blend, learning all about degrees of roast and how different regions in the world have such different flavor profiles, so much like wine,” Stevens said.
In other news, the two locations of the Napa Valley Coffee Roasting Company are offering a new selection for milk substitution. “In addition to offering soy and almond milks, we have added coconut milk because of demand from our customers,” Dunlap explains. “The coconut milk adds an unexpected natural sweetness to any of our specialty coffee drinks,” he explains.
The Napa Valley Coffee Roasting Company has two locations in the Napa Valley. Hours in Napa at 948 Main Street at First (707/224-2233) are seven days from 6:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.; in St. Helena at 1400 Oak Avenue at Adams (707/963-4491), 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
