Coffee Roasted in Charleston, SC, That Supports Sea Turtle Rehabilitation is Expanding Retail Distribution and Online Selections

CHARLESTON, S.C., March 22, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Charleston Coffee Roasters, a company that slow roasts its beans in Charleston, South Carolina, announced that it is expanding distribution of two organic coffees inspired by the Lowcountry. Aquarium Blend celebrates the South Carolina Aquarium, and Beach House Blend was inspired by New York Times bestselling author Mary Alice Monroe. These unique coffees are available nationwide at charlestoncoffeeroasters.com and now at most Harris Teeter stores along the East coast. 

Aquarium Blend is an organic medium roast of Peruvian and Honduran beans slow roasted to a creamy profile, resulting in a well-balanced coffee with a smooth finish that is sweet and citrusy. Charleston Coffee Roasters has been committed to supporting the efforts of the South Carolina Aquarium through its business. Charleston Coffee Roasters is the lead sponsor of the Nutritional Care Program at the South Carolina Aquarium, which supplies more than 200 pounds of food daily for nearly 5,000 resident animals and sea turtles undergoing rehabilitation in the Sea Turtle Care Center. 

"We developed Aquarium Blend to celebrate our partnership with the South Carolina Aquarium because their conservation efforts are very important to us and the community at large," said Lowell D. Grosse, founder and President of Charleston Coffee Roasters. "We are thrilled that Harris Teeter is expanding distribution of our coffees that give back to stores across North and South Carolina, Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, Florida, and Washington, D.C."

Beach House Blend is an organic dark roast of Colombian French, Sumatran, and Mexican beans that has a rich and smooth profile, a bold taste and a strong finish. This blend is inspired by friends and longtime Charleston residents Mary Alice Monroe — the New York Times bestselling author of nearly 30 books with more than eight million copies in print worldwide — and Lowell D. Grosse — founder and President of Charleston Coffee Roasters. 

"My readers generously embrace my devotion to the environment and animal conservation, which are hallmarks of many of my novels. With Beach House Blend, my fans can now enjoy one of my culinary passions — coffee," said Monroe. "I am honored to support Lowell's vision of giving back to my beloved Aquarium and its Sea Turtle Care Center through Charleston Coffee Roasters. That's one powerful cup of coffee!"

Charleston Coffee Roasters, the South Carolina Aquarium, and Mary Alice Monroe have teamed up to host a "Name our Turtle" campaign that will go now until 11:59 p.m. ET on April 21, 2023.
