PITTSBURGH, PA (November 16, 2023) – Commonplace Coffee has partnered with iconic Pittsburgh-based folk artist Jim Pollock, known for his gig poster designs for the band Phish and other music industry staples, to release a third annual collaborative donation coffee blend. The coffee officially hit Commonplace Coffee shelves and online store Tuesday, November 14, and will be available in their lineup for eight weeks through January 9, 2023.
Commonplace Coffee will donate a portion of proceeds from sales of this coffee to The Divided Sky Foundation, an organization founded by Phish Guitarist Trey Anastasio that delivers quality care and compassionate treatment to those affected by alcoholism and addiction. You can learn more about the coffee and purchase a 12oz bag priced at $20 at all Commonplace Coffee locations and online at commonplacecoffee.com.
Commonplace Coffee will also be providing an exclusive glitter walking mug sticker designed by Jim for every order placed through their website of two or more bags of Pollock Blend (e.g. buy 2 bags, get 1 label; buy 3 bags, get 2 labels, etc.)
Of the collaboration, Commonplace Coffee marketing director Lauren Young says, “It’s hard to believe this is our third year working with Jim to release Pollock Blend.” She adds, “Jim and his partner Jeni are philanthropists and incredible supporters of the small business community in Pittsburgh. We first began working with them during the pandemic and are incredibly honored to continue this collaboration.”
The blend features tasting notes of grapefruit, vanilla wafer, and strawberry. Coffees in this blend include Nesru Aba Nura from Ethiopia, Walter Perez from Nicaragua, and Luis Alberto from Nicaragua.
