Throughout the year, Fire Department Coffee will be releasing a series of Spirit-Infused Coffee to expand its signature collection of roasts enhanced with subtle spirit flavors. The first seasonal blend from the veteran-owned, firefighter-run Fire Department Coffee is Vanilla Bean Bourbon Infused Coffee, which shares the rich essence of vanilla bean with premium aged bourbon. The limited-edition coffee takes the form of a medium roast that's said to share "a smooth taste and a pleasant aroma" that promises to be anything but vanilla.
In 2021, coffee lovers can look forward to the release of even more unique limited-edition blends like tart Blackberry Bourbon Infused Coffee, light and fresh Peach Bourbon or the sweet Salted Caramel Spirit Infused Coffee blend.
