A new coffee blend, Monarch Morning Roast, has been created through a partnership between Old Dominion University (ODU) and Town Center Cold Pressed. This special blend combines Indonesian Sumatra and Colombian beans, resulting in a dark roast with rich flavors of chocolate, almond, and caramel. The launch is set for April 3 at the Town Center's location in Virginia Beach. The collaboration aims to enhance the coffee culture on campus and support student scholarships through sales.
• Monarch Morning Roast is designed to appeal to a wide audience, blending features of both light and dark roasts.
• The coffee will be sold for $19.99 in various locations, including ODU's bookstore and online.
• Proceeds from sales will contribute to student scholarships, with over $17,000 already raised from other licensed products.
• The initiative strengthens community ties and promotes local businesses while providing high-quality products for students.
This partnership highlights the importance of coffee in college life, creating a shared experience and supporting students financially. It reflects a growing trend of local businesses collaborating with educational institutions to foster community spirit and enhance student experiences.
