Licks sources coffee from all over the world , but customers can rest assured that their morning cup is responsibly sourced . From Mexico to Colombia , Peru to Costa Rica , Africa to Guatemala , J . P . Licks ’ coffee beans are Fair Trade as well as tasty .
The business ’ own House Blend is a medium-bodied combination of Latin American and Indonesian coffees , slightly sweetened , with notes of dark chocolate , orange and almond . However , J . P . Licks ’ full range caters to all coffee lovers , varying in roast , body and sweetness , with various unique flavor notes to choose from , including caramel , pear and black tea .
“ Like Goldilocks ( might ’ ve ) said ‘ Starbucks roasts too dark , Dunkin ’ roasts too light , but J . P . Licks roasts just right ’”, Vince muses online . “ We roast down the middle … dark enough for a hearty brew but not so dark that every bean tastes burnt .”
With 2025 just around the corner , J . P . Licks is set to keep on delighting its customers with its colorful combination of individualism and good food . ■
