As a brand, [Manatee Coffee](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-raspberry) aligns its commercial operations with environmental advocacy. The company recently released two seasonal coffee varieties — the Eggspresso Nog and the Winter Retreat.

The Eggspresso Nog is a medium roast designed to emulate the flavor of traditional eggnog through the inclusion of vanilla and cinnamon notes. The second option, the Winter Retreat, is a certified organic dark roast with a profile characterized by cocoa and nutty elements.

Manatee Coffee underscores its dedication to ethical sourcing and production methods. The company continues to donate a portion of its revenue to non-profit groups focused on the preservation of manatees and their aquatic habitats. Manatee Coffee's total contributions to date reportedly exceed $84,000 and have benefited organizations like [Save the Manatee Club](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-lines-festive-oatnog), Mote Marine Laboratory, Clearwater Marine Aquarium, [Friends of Manatee Lagoon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/great-smoky-mountains-national-park), and Jacksonville Zoo and Botanical Gardens.
