Designed to capture the unique spirit of the season, Lincoln Center is a juicy, dynamic coffee, perfect for summertime sipping. We’re proud to introduce this first-annual seasonal coffee in celebration of Lincoln Center’s Summer for the City, a festival which unites the community through the arts.
Especially delicious on ice, Lincoln Center is a washed lot from the Turihamwe women’s group in Ngozi, Burundi. This coffee’s quality shines through from the moment it’s ground, revealing florals, citrus, and brown sugar complexity. As you sip, it blossoms into something greater than the sum of its parts, with notes of ripe peach, tart tangerine, raspberry jam, and a grounding black tea bitterness to make the sweetness even more dynamic and memorable.
$1 from each bag of Lincoln Center sold will support Lincoln Center and Lincoln Center’s Young Artist Pipeline program in service of the next generation of artists and creators. The Young Artist Pipeline is a foundational arts training program for upper elementary and middle school students interested in developing craft and technique in a chosen art form, learning about the professional arts world, and potentially auditioning for and attending a screened arts high school. Pipeline seeks to address the opportunity gap that many students experience due to the prohibitive cost of training in the arts, and help create a sense of community and belonging at Lincoln Center.
