Caribou Coffee, an American coffee house owned by Panera Brands, has announced the launch of 'Amy's Blend,' a curated coffee blend created as a tribute to the brand's first roastmaster, Amy Erickson.
Erickson left the company in 1995 due to her ongoing battle with breast cancer. Because of this, Caribou Coffee will also be donating a percentage of Amy's Blend sales to the non-profit charity 'Girls on the Run' in an effort to honor her legacy. Amy's Blend will be offered in two varieties, a Light Roast version with sweet and smoky flavors, and a Dark Roast version with bright and silky tasting notes. Of course, both versions of Amy's Blend are inspired by Amy Erickson's favorite coffee elements.
"Amy provided a foundation and path that really set our sourcing commitments and relationships apart, and the dedication to excellence she established continues at Caribou Coffee today," says John Butcher, president and CEO of Caribou Coffee
