Wawa Launches New Wawa Reserve Variety, Guatemala Huehuetenango a Fair Trade, Organic Coffee Available in All Wawa Stores Beginning May 13

Wawa Reserve Line Features Limited-Time-Offer, Small Batch, Specialty-Grade Coffee


WAWA, Pa., May 13, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wawa is thrilled to announce a new addition to its coffee offer, Wawa Reserve Guatemala Huehuetenango. This variety is Wawa’s newest limited-time, specialty-grade coffee offering and will join Wawa’s existing line of coffee varieties beginning May 13.

This new Wawa Reserve variety is a certified Fair Trade, Organic coffee sourced from the world-renowned growing region of Huehuetenango in the Guatemalan highlands. The high elevations and rich soil content of the region provide ideal growing conditions for the Caturra, Catuai and Bourbon bean varietals to thrive.

Roasted to a medium state, these beans brew to create a sweet and delicate cup with aromas of orange blossom and jasmine producing a round silky mouthfeel with a balanced, yet crisp acidity. Our Fair Trade, Organic Guatemala Huehuetenango has a floral lingering finish with honey and dark chocolate.

“Each time we release a new Wawa Reserve line of coffee it quickly becomes one of our most popular hot beverage options, so we are thrilled to offer this new Wawa Reserve variety to give customers the chance to explore exciting origin roasts at the same cost as our traditional varieties,” said Mike Sherlock, Chief Fresh Food & Beverage Officer for Wawa. “From the very beginning, keeping up with consumer trends and customer demand has been part of Wawa’s culture. Wawa Reserve takes our coffee offering to the next-level and lets customers try a bold new taste right alongside their favorite Wawa roasts.”
