Anniversary Blend 2004 is a blend of four highly distinctive beans. Each of the 3 great growing regions of the world are represented in Anniversary Blend. The origin countries of these beans are in South America, Central America, East Africa and Indonesia. This is a medium roast coffee (between a light and dark roast) with enticingly deep aroma, perfectly balanced flavor, a hint of spiciness and an ultra-smooth finish. The East Africa component lends a wonderful complexity to the overall cup.
The label on the bags, in an art deco motif, was designed by Laurie Soileau, a former O'Henry's employee.
Anniversary Blend 2004 was developed over a 45-day period by the leadership teams of O'Henry's and Red Mountain Coffee Roasters. Numerous blends in varying ratios were sample roasted, brewed and tested. Customers and suppliers were also enlisted to give feedback during the process.
The product is at O'Henry's in Homewood, the AmSouth/Harbert building and Medical Center East. It is also available at most local Bruno's, Western's and Piggly Wiggly's. V. Richards also carries O'Henry's coffees, including Anniversary Blend. It is $7.99 in a 12oz. black foil gift bag, making it a great gift.
