Nothing Like a Hot Cup o’… Krampus?

Maybe it’s because I haven’t had my coffee yet this morning, but this announcement from Zenescope sounded delicious. It also makes me wonder why other publishers haven’t done the same. I know Disney sells IP-branded coffee in its parks and resorts, and on The Flash there’s a popular Central City coffee special called The Flash, but that’s fictional. 

From Zenescope:

Zenescope Entertainment, one of the top comic book and graphic novel publishing companies in the world—best known for re-imagining public domain properties as horror, sci-fi, and action/adventure series—has partnered with Coffee Shop of Horrors to provide specially flavored coffees based on their Grimm Fairy Tales series!

 “We’re happy we could embrace a company that complimented our horror themes for our first foray into food and beverage licensing! It was a great opportunity for us to develop a Krampus blend in conjunction with our 2015 Robyn Hood Holiday Special, allowing us another avenue to celebrate with our fans and their families.”
—Jennifer Bermel, Head of Licensing & Business Development

“We’re really excited to partner with Zenescope Entertainment, especially since this is the first time we’re releasing an Ethiopian or Apple Strudel coffees!”
—Roxana Stan, President of Coffee Shop of Horrors
Based out of Montverde, Florida, Coffee Shop of Horrors is aligned with the largest private importer of green coffee beans on the U.S. East Coast to procure: Grade A, single source, fair trade, and organic beans, roasted with all-natural oils and extracts. Providing the best-tasting and highest quality coffees, they offer a variety of terrifying, whimsically horrific, and fantastical labels which now include:
Krampus Yuletide Terror – Ethiopian Harrar
Harrar Arabica beans, processed naturally, will produce a distinct berry note; and this Ethiopian Harrar has a strong dry edge, winy-to-fruit-like acidity, rich aroma, and a heavy body. One can observe an intense aroma of blueberries, blackberries, and dark chocolate in this holiday blend.
Show White’s Enchanted Apple – Apple Strudel
Starting with green Columbian Supremo coffee beans—noted for their medium body, bright acidity, fruit notes, chocolate and caramel notes, as well as a balanced taste with a clean finish—this blend is roasted to taste of fresh apple and warm cinnamon, with a vanilla glaze.

These new flavors are available in:

  • 2 oz. samples,
  • 8 oz. bags,
  • 2 lb. bags,
  • 5 lb. bags,
at http://coffeeshopofhorrors.com/, where upon checkout they will grind the beans for you. Absolutely perfect for the season, make sure to add these to your holiday shopping list!
