# Autumnal Maple-Flavored Coffees Trader Joe’s New Autumn Maple Coffee is Like Fall in a Cup By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2019-09-25 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autumn-maple-coffee References: [traderjoes](https://www.traderjoes.com/digin/post/autumn-maple-coffee) The only thing that might be better than a warm cup of coffee on a chilly fall day, is a cup of [Trader Joe’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/butter-with-brown-sugar-maple-syrup) new Autumn Maple Coffee. Trader Joe’s Autumn Maple Coffee is a seasonal creation that makes for the perfect companion to the chain's other [fall treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fall-coffee-products). The new coffee starts with 100 percent Arabica beans sourced from Central America, Colombia, and Brazil. The rich coffee beans are then infused with real Vermont maple syrup to create a lightly sweetened coffee blend. As Trader Joe's puts it: "Every cup delivers subtly sweet maple flavor that complements that stack of pancakes, a plate of eggs, or a ramekin of yogurt." The chain also suggests that adding a splash of milk will bring out an even more rich maple flavor—it doesn't get much sweeter than that.
