Mmmm, Baylor-themed coffee now available
If you’ve noticed the smell of coffee wafting from the Baylor Bookstore, that’s because a coffee company is unveiling a line of Baylor-themed coffee blends today.
A news conference is being held now as Independence Coffee Co. presents its Baylor Signature Series.
Samples of the coffees — with names such as 1845 Charter Blend, Oso Delicious and Bruin Brew — were being prepared and served by master roaster Ragan Bond at the bookstore.
The concept behind the coffees is to connect the state’s oldest continuously operating university to its original roots at the historic village of Independence, not far from Brenham.
The new Baylor Signature Series blends will be available for purchase at the bookstore and online at www.independencecoffee.com. Royalties earned from the blends will be used by the Baylor libraries to support Baylor’s historic preservation efforts in and around Independence.
According to a release from Baylor, the Baylor Signature Series feature the following coffee blends:
*1845 Charter Blend (regular and decaf, Central and South American blend)
*That Good Ol’ Baylor Line (regular and decaf, authentic Texas pecan)
*Oso Delicious (chocolate caramel; “Oso” is the Spanish name for “bear”)
*Homecoming Special (crème brule)
*Bruin Brew (cinnamon-hazelnut)
*Sic ‘Em Special (multi-origin dark roast)
A Diadeloso blend is under development and will be ready for distribution in spring 2009. The Homecoming Special blend will change from year to year.

Hmmm…Baylor coffee. How interesting. Rich but weak with a slight taste of hypocrisy.

I think Baylor getting its own coffee is just swell. I seem to remember a Trib story that announce Baylor is going to get it’s own sports drink as well.
Former Baylor Coach Eric Schnupp should have a drink named after him at Scruffy Murphys !!
