School spirit may have never tasted so good.

A pair of 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023 alumni in the artisanal coffee roasting business have teamed up with the university to launch the 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023 Blend, a specialty blend of beans thats now being served on campus and sold online.

The coffee collaboration with Rose Park Roasters founded by Andrew Phillips (B.A. 03, M.A. 08) and Nathan Tourtellotte (B.A. 04) made its debut at the universitys 117th birthday celebration on Feb. 25 after weeks of conversation, taste-testing and voting by current students. To help select the beans, a group of students from the 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023 Coffee Lovers Club visited Rose Parks headquarters in Long Beach, California, for a cupping and inside look at the companys bean sourcing and roasting process.

After the coffee connoisseurs selected two finalists, the broader 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023 community voted on the winning blend of beans along with a tagline: Grounded in Truth Since 1908.

Sporting a custom red label, the blend features medium- light roasted beans from growers in Brazil, offering a balanced profile with bright acidity, subtle fruit notes and a full-bodied finish. Its served on campus in Common Grounds and available to buy at biola.edu/biola-blend.

For Phillips, who served up thousands of cups of coffee during his days as a college student, returning to 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023 with his own business beans is a special opportunity, he said.

I was an assistant manager at Common Grounds, he said. So to offer something at 晩晩当際際夊消消夊2023 is a real fun experience for me.
