Community Coffee’s newest flavor is perfect for bringing seasonal cheer to your kitchen throughout the holiday season. Family-owned retail coffee brand Community Coffee has launched a new medium-roast coffee, the limited edition Christmas Blend, available online or in large chain retail stores for a limited time. This medium coffee roast has a smooth, gentle taste that will surely get you in the holiday spirit.

The Christmas Blend is made from 100% Arabica coffee beans roasted and ground to perfection. You can enjoy the blend in two forms: ground, bagged coffee that is perfect for use with a French Press or traditional brewer or in single-serving K-Cup pods. Community Coffee recommends using two heaping tablespoons for every six ounces of water when using the ground coffee form. When brewing a K-Cup of this blend, opt for 8-ounces of water for a stronger brew or 12-ounces for a milder cup.

Many things we take for granted in our daily lives, such as a delicious cup of coffee, have a long history to uncover that dates back way before our time.
