Like a Good Cup of Coffee?

Try O’Henry’s Samford Bulldog Blend

If you love a good cup of coffee, you might want to try the latest blend available in the Samford Food Court or online.  It’s called Samford Bulldog Blend.

The new coffee is a unique blend of three premium beans from Central America, South America and Indonesia, custom roasted by O’Henry’s Coffees of Homewood.

O’Henry’s has been selling premium coffee in the Birmingham area since 1993.  It opened a coffee shop in the Samford Food Court in 2006.  And its newest offering is Samford Bulldog Blend, on sale in the Food Court or online at www.ohenryscoffees.com.

Regular or decaf beans or ground coffee are available.  A one-pound bag costs $11.99,  and a portion of the cost benefits Samford.

Why Bulldog Blend?

It’s the brainchild of Stan Davis, Samford’s director of gift and estate planning, with help from Food Court manager David Montgomery.

Davis loves a good cup of coffee.  As he was enjoying his favorite drink recently, he was struck by an idea.  Why not develop a special blend of coffee that would carry the Samford name?

“Samford is a unique place, and what could be more appropriate than developing a special blend with the Samford name?” Davis said.  He talked to Montgomery about the idea, and they approached O’Henry’s. Thus was born Samford Bulldog Blend.

The coffee is also available at Samford athletic events, or at any event at which the Food Court handles concessions.

“We invite the Samford family, and everyone else, to stop by the Food Court for a cup of Bulldog Blend,” said Davis.  “It’s good stuff.”
