Chick-fil-A Now Offers Specialty-Grade, Farmer-Direct Coffees

Ever since I bought myself a Keurig last fall, I’ve been drinking less and less teas, and beginning to cling to coffee in the morning. With an early wake-up for school and heeding the 6:30am, “Mama! I wake up!” call from Red, I need some caffeine served up in a tasty way. Being a Chick-fil-A ambassador, I caught early wind of the new specialty-grade, farmer direct coffees being served chain wide, and I was really interested. Now, being a coffee “newbie,” I know what smells amazing, but I usually need a mild blend or a lot of milk rather than drink it black.  
Now Chick-fil-A has paired with THRIVE! Farmer network, which means that Costa Rican, Ecuadorian and Colombian coffee farmers (most small businesses) join and work with thrive to produce high end , sustainably grown coffee which is fairly paid for (not fair trade – better than that!) and offered straight to Chick-fil-A and you.  These farmers that used to be strong armed into fair trade campaigns now can actually earn a living producing and marketing with THRIVE!.  Being the only quick service chain to offer this high end quality coffee means that you, the customer,  are tasting something that can only be gotten in high end shops (nope, higher up than over-roasted mermaid coffee).  
If you’re not into hot coffees, there’s also an iced version, mixed with 2% milk and offering a few flavor options like Hazelnut, Original and French Vanilla (my favorite).  If you’re looking for a non-dairy option, the iced coffee only watered down right now, without milk, so your best option is to order a hot coffee with the great non-dairy creamers.  
Offered in Small ($1.59), Medium ($1.89) and Large ($2.09), the new hot coffee comes in decalf as well as regular (see what I did there? lol.) and Chick-fil-A’s long term goal is to grind the beans freshly in-store each morning.  Iced coffees come in just two sizes, but the French Vanilla ones are my favorite!  On the go? Ask for your creamers and sugars when you order at the drive-through and the staff will mix them in for you – all ready to go! 
Chick-fil-A Hot and Iced Coffees are farmer direct and really tasty!
 So are you a coffee fan? This certainly isn’t helping my newly- growing addition.  Would you try the iced or the hot version?

    I like the print on your tank. I think if you love the service and they take extra measures to ensure they’re doing things right, that it makes sense to stay with them. πŸ™‚

    I honestly had never heard of Stitch Fix. Sounds like a great company.

    I’ve had zero luck with Stitch Fix, even after overcommunciating with them and actually emailing with a stylist before my last fix. Based in what I’ve seen on the interwebs, everyone is getting essentially the same clothing. My last stylist thanked me for saying I didn’t want denim shorts (I’d seen them popping up way too often in fixes), because they’re “really pushing them right now”. That doesn’t sound like personal styling to me. Stitch Fix is using every marketing influence tactic in the book, and it appears to be working for them. As a marketing gal, perhaps I know a little too well how the sausage is made, so to speak.

    I’ve never heard of this before. I really do like subscription services/boxes but with clothing I tend to be picky. I might have a hard time trusting someone else to pick out clothes for me.

    I just saw that video the blogger did about Stitch Fix. It made me glad that I hadn’t signed up. But I definitely understand why you are staying with them – it is a great time saver, I’m sure.

    I enjoy my stitch fix shipments every month. I’ve gotten similar items, yes, but I honestly feel like my stylist has paid attention to my requests! I’ve kept 2-3 items each fix. No, it’s not cheap. It is, however, convenient and I have very little time for shopping in person anymore!

    I love that Chic-fil-A is using sustainable coffee. Most people don’t realize that hundreds of acres of rain forest (our planet’s lungs) are clear cut to make room for coffee fields.

    I have never had this coffee and its been at least 10 yrs since I have been to a Chic-fil-A. When I was in high school there was a mall behind where I lived. We had one in the food court. That was soooo long ago.

    I’ve never joined, but I’ve been curious. But, when I saw the prices of the items, I knew they weren’t in my work at home and frugal mom budget. My sister has had great luck and I get that you are paying for a service, too.

    All that you say, if it works for you, great! And, if I was Kat and got those shorts, I probably would have done the same:)
