Popular Columbus, Ohio Cafe Introduces Several Seasonal Coffee Drinks

    COLUMBUS, OH, November 12, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Based in Columbus, Ohio, Cup O' Joe coffee house and micro-roaster has introduced its seasonal coffee drink line. Cup O' Joe uses only the highest-quality Arabica beans to brew its coffee, and has developed its fall and winter seasonal drink menu, which includes the Joe Pumpkin, a cafe latte flavored with real pumpkin and spices, as well as a Tiramisu Latte, Joe Nog and Peppermint Mocha.

"We have many talented baristas with years of experience and a passion for coffee; it can be a fun challenge for us to pair what we already do well with the best tastes of each season," Jason Tullius, Cup O' Joe general manager of Lennox store, said. "Developing the seasonal coffees also involves knowing our guests' tastes and anticipating the next trend in flavors."

According to Tullius, the Joe Pumpkin is excellent paired with a Pumpkin White Chocolate Chip Muffin for fall. The Joe Pumpkin isn't like other fall lattes, though. "We weren't happy with many of the artificial pumpkin flavors available, so our Joe Pumpkin features a house-made sauce from real pumpkin and spices. I think the result is the best pumpkin latte you'll find anywhere."

The holiday seasonal drink list includes a diverse variety of specialty coffee beverages. Guests are anticipating Cup O' Joe's holiday drinks, which include the Joe Nog, a fresh-brewed espresso with real steamed eggnog; the Tiramisu Latte, fresh espresso with liquor flavors, topped with the house-made espresso-infused whipped cream; the Peppermint Mocha, rich chocolate and peppermint pair perfectly with fresh-brewed espresso.

"Our holiday drinks were strategically developed by our baristas, who put a lot of thought in to each flavor and ingredient," Tullius said. "Plus, guests can look forward to our Celebration Blend coffee, a special dark roast that is perfect for sharing with friends and family during the winter season."
