DATELINE: BOSTON; BROOKLINE; CAMBRIDGE; JAMAICA PLAIN; NEWTON CENTRE; SOMERVILLE AND WEST ROXBURY, MA…

Coffee sampling and $4.00 off promotion

In addition to offering a $1.00 coffee, J.P. Licks will also offer free coffee samples every evening from 6-9 p.m. in all locations and will be providing customers during this time a coupon for $4.00 off a one pound bag of their home roasted beans. The samplings will enable customers to try some of the different varieties of coffees that J.P. Licks has to offer, including their wonderful decafs, all of which are Swiss Water Processed, which uses no chemicals in the decaffeination process.

It’s all in the Blend

Since February is “Specialty Coffee Month”, you’ll be able to try a variety of coffees such as J.P. Licks’ Rainforest Alliance coffee known as “Don Telmo Reserva” from Colombia. It’s certified organic, shade grown and bird-friendly, and the Rainforest Alliance seal ensures that everyone in the chain (growers, harvesters, processors, and Mother Earth) gets fair treatment and compensation.

Don Telmo Reserva Colombian coffee is one of the smoothest Colombian flavors. It’s medium bodied and very well balanced with slight notes of chocolate. Those who like bold, full flavored coffee such as Sumatra or Ethiopia, would like J.P. Licks’ Winter Blend. The House Blend is perfect for folks who like smooth coffee with medium acidity. Each of these coffees, as well as a dark roast and a decaf will be available during the $1 coffee promotion.

J.P. Licks offers one of the widest varieties of coffees on a rotating basis. Their Fair Trade Organic coffees include: Ethiopia, Mild Blend, Mexico, Peru, Nicaragua, Sumatra, Decaf Cascadia Blend, Decaf Mexico and Decaf Sumatra. Other favorites offered are: Costa Rica, Espresso Blend, House Blend, Guatamala, Kenya, Kilimanjaro Blend and Decaf Espresso.

The award-winning homemade ice cream café with eight shops in and around Boston has coffee blends to please any palate. To learn more about J.P. Licks’ special coffee brews or other offerings, visit jplicks.com.
