S&D Coffee Expands Its Buffalo & Spring Line of Premium Coffees
Concord, NC - Today, national coffee manufacturer S&D Coffee announced it will add two new coffees, Beija-Flor and Earth Song Decaffeinated Blend to its Buffalo & Spring™ Coffees of Distinction line. This expansion comes as response to the success of and growing demand for the company's Buffalo & Spring line, which was launched in early spring to help high-end hotels/resorts, colleges/universities and finer restaurants satisfy the more sophisticated tastes of consumers accustomed to buying premium coffee in a retail setting.
Both Beija-Flor and Earth Song Decaf are mild roast coffees with medium body. Beija-Flor has a crisp acidity with a sparkling finish, while Earth Song Decaf offers a moderately spicy finish. In addition, Earth Song Decaf is a Fair-Trade Certified™ coffee, meaning that the beans are grown based on principles of sustainable growth and that workers receive a higher portion of the profits from the sale of the beans they grow and harvest.
"Our Buffalo & Spring line has been extremely well-received in our targets markets, especially in universities, where the demand high-quality coffee and Fair-Trade Certified, socially responsible products continues to grow quite rapidly," said Ron Hinson, S&D President. "We've added these new coffees to help round out the line in terms of offering more mild roast and decaffeinated options."
The product expansion will also allow S&D to increase its support of Coffee Kids, an organization that seeks to improve the quality of life for coffee-farming families around the world. S&D has pledged to make a donation to this organization based on Buffalo & Spring coffee sales.
While S&D has no immediate plans for more additions to the line, the company will continue to enhance its Buffalo & Spring offerings in order to keep pace with consumer and customer demand.
