Celebrate Joffrey’s 32nd Anniversary With Prizes!

Surprise! The month of October marks our 32nd Anniversary! But instead of collecting gifts to celebrate, we’re giving gifts to you! Our supporters, loyal fans, and coffee fanatics are the reason Joffrey’s has grown and thrived for over three decades, so to show our gratitude, we’re offering up a special treat!

To recap just how awesome you all are, we’re going to get nostalgic for a minute.

 

It’s all About our Fans!

You were there in the beginning, when Joffrey’s was just a trendy little coffee shop in Tampa’s historic Ybor City… back in the era of cassette tapes, mustaches, big hair, and neon plastic earrings. Then, the Internet age happened, and you tried and true fans stuck by us as we grew from a small coffee shop to a premium online coffee retailer.

When social media was born, you followed us on every channel, chatted with us, and sent us happy pictures of yourselves with your favorite Joffrey’s coffee. After we became the coffee supplier for Walt Disney World® Resort, you were there too…with bells on (or with Mickey ears on, in this case). The journey with all of you has been fantastic, and we’re excited to keep it moving (with our fans in tow!) as we continue to grow, innovate, and stay true to our craft coffee name.

 

It’s Also About the Loot – The Prizes Are…

Now, let’s put the nostalgia aside for a second and talk about the giveaway, shall we? Five lucky fans are going to win a bag of Joffrey’s Anniversary Blend coffee and one coffee tumbler, for you coffee drinkers on the go. The travel tumbler is the perfect way for Joffrey’s coffee to stick by your side (and keep you going) wherever you go.

The Anniversary Blend coffee will keep you warm and awake on those early breezy fall mornings, and hopefully remind you of how much we appreciate you. This coffee is a blend of 100% Specialty Grade Arabica beans from Indonesia, Africa, and Central America. The Indonesian beans bring a velvety texture to the blend, the African beans  deliver a fruity feel, and the dark roasted Central American beans give the blend some gusto!

If fabulous silky coffee with a hint of fruitiness and gusto sounds good to you, and you like your java on the go, this prize is meant for you! Hop on Facebook and follow the instructions below…along with contest rules. See you  there!

Created by Chef Tony Marotta at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort Riverside

 

Have you ever tried a dessert made with Joffrey’s coffee?! Well now you can. Walt Disney World Chef, Tony Marotta, hosted a live demo at the Epcot Food and Wine Festival to show us just how magical coffee desserts can be. Here are three amazing recipes to try at home!  You’re going to love every bite.

  3. Pour into 4 (4-ounce) ramekins and arrange on a baking dish. Fill the baking dish halfway with very hot water but not boiling, being careful not to splash water into the ramekins.
  4. Place in the oven on the center rack and bake 25 minutes. The edges will be set and the center a touch looser. Remove from the pan and refrigerate immediately.

Art of the Roast

We’re still buzzing from a night of art and coffee cocktails at the famous Ritz Ybor! We spent an evening with local artists and creative folks at our first annual art show, where we also kicked off the Art of the Label contest. We’re already looking ahead to the second annual show, but it will be tough to forget the devilishly delicious taste of that ‘Angel’s Last Kiss’ cocktail (recipes to follow in our next post!)

Thank you so much to all the artists who showed their work, and helped make the night such a success.
