TL;DR
Aroma Joe's is celebrating National Coffee Day by offering free 16-ounce coffee. The company has 138 locations across several states and is known for its sustainably grown and ethically sourced coffee.
“National Coffee Day gives us the opportunity to highlight our amazing beans and celebrate our awesome communities,” said Carrie Riley, Aroma Joe’s Chief Marketing Officer. “As we continue to grow, we never lose sight on how important each community – new and old – is to our brand. After 26 years and almost 140 shops, we stay energized on delighting our fans every day.”
Unlike many competitors, Aroma Joe’s proprietary coffee blends are 100% Rainforest Alliance Certified and audited annually against environmental, social, and economic criteria to protect farmers, and biodiversity and foster a culture of respect. The craft roasted coffee is not only sustainably grown and ethically sourced but creates beverages that are full-flavored, rich, and deliciously smooth. In 2021, Aroma Joe's created the Aroma Joe’s® Honduras Coffee Farmers Group - a select group of Honduran coffee farmers that produce and supply coffee to Aroma Joe’s proprietary standards.
These farmers receive a $.20/lb. premium for each green coffee pound submitted for processing.
In addition to National Coffee Day, Aroma Joe’s invites guests to enjoy the flavors of fall (for purchase) with this year’s seasonal hot and iced beverages, which include:
Poppin' Pumpkin Latte: Back by popular demand! Cozy pumpkin spice flavor, a drizzle of salted caramel, topped with guests' choice of cloud top or whipped cream, and finished with candy-like poppin' sugar that snaps and crackles.
Fluffer Nutter Latte: Nostalgia in a cup featuring peanut butter and toasted marshmallow flavors, with a mallow top and peanut butter drizzle.
Cider and Chaider: A fan favorite with the option of a cloud top.
Gimmie S’mores Dirty Soda: (Iced only), featuring a Coke/Diet Coke base with sweat cream and flavors of chocolate milano, toasted marshmallow and vanilla, with a mallow topping.
Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Scarborough, Maine with 138 locations across Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Florida, Connecticut and New York. Aroma Joe's is a local destination for handcrafted coffee and espresso drinks, unique infused blends, signature AJs RUSH® Energy Drinks and all-day food offerings served in a friendly and upbeat environment. Aroma Joe's is positively impacting people with passion, caring and a commitment to excellence throughout every shop and community.
