Caribou Coffee believes Amy's story lives in every bean. As Caribou's original Roastmaster, Amy set the standards for Caribou Coffee and established the high-quality practices employees use today. "We honor Amy with every batch we roast and we also recognize that everyone knows an 'Amy,' whether as a patient, survivor or a supporter," said John Butcher, President of Caribou Coffee. "While celebrating National Coffee Day, we want to put our efforts and focus toward the larger goal of making a positive impact on those living with cancer or supporting a loved battling the disease." After National Coffee Day and October sales, Caribou Coffee will plan to give 10% of all Caribou Coffee sales and Amy's merchandise up to $250,000 to Cancer*Care*. Amy's Blend, Light roast a vibrant and sweet blend, combining citrus and melon flavors with a smooth, silky finish.
