The Arkansas Alumni Association is pleased to announce the launch of a new private label gourmet coffee program with Beanbank Coffee Co.  The new store site, http://arkansasalumni.callaocoffee.com/, launched August 16, 2010.

The Arkansas Alumni Coffee Store offers fresh-roasted, gourmet-quality coffee delivered to your door on a schedule you control! The store carries a wide variety of gourmet coffees from the Callao Coffee Company as well as quality teas and specialty drinks from other fine makers.  They roast daily and ship within 24-36 hours so you receive your fresh-roasted coffee usually within five days!

The products are price competitively with retail, so this program simply allows you to re-direct your existing coffee purchases from the grocer to Arkansas Alumni while enjoying a fresh- roasted coffee experience each morning! The Association receives a royalty on every item purchased in the store. Now you can effortlessly support the Association simply by purchasing coffee or tea at our store, and wake up each morning with pride in Arkansas!

In addition to providing an exceptional product, Callao Coffee is committed to making a difference in the world and serving a compassionate corporate citizen.  Their stewardship focus has led them to partner with and support many organizations including Orphan Helpers, The Rainforest Alliance, the Northwest Shade Coffee Campaign, Bird Friendly, Farmer Friendly and Free Trade.
