## Story

“As PJ’s continues to grow, we hope to share our unique New Orleans Mardi Gras traditions with guests across the country,” says Felton Jones, PJ’s Coffee Roastmaster. “Customers can savor the flavors of the Carnival season like the famed coconut throws from the Krewe of Zulu or hints of cinnamon found in traditional king cakes.”

- **King Cake Latte**: This Mardi Gras favorite is made with rich Espresso Dolce, steamed milk, and flavors of vanilla and cinnamon, topped with whipped cream and purple sanding sugar.

- **King Cake Protein Velvet Ice**: King Cake cold brew concentrate, skim milk, no sugar added vanilla powder, and protein powder blended to perfection.

- **Zulu Coconut Iced Mocha**: The perfect indulgent drink to celebrate Mardi Gras. Our classic Viennese blend cold brew is paired with milk, Hershey's syrup and coconut concentrate served over ice.

PJ’s Coffee serves a complete line of espresso-based beverages using only the top 1% of Arabica beans, as well as organic tea and fresh baked pastries and desserts. The gourmet coffee is small-batched roasted, sourced from 14 origins from Sumatra to Ethiopia and Colombia to Papua New Guinea. The brand is also focused on direct trade, working with adopted farms Finca Terrerito in Honduras and Agua Fresca in Nicaragua.
