ORRVILLE, Ohio, July 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Just in time to celebrate National Coffee Month in August, Millstone® premium packaged coffee expands its portfolio with the introduction of two remarkable new blends Mayan Black Onyx™ and House Blend. These expertly-crafted blends are designed for coffee enthusiasts, inspiring adventure and offering an incomparable coffee experience. When it comes to quality and taste, Millstone Coffee may very well be the best-kept secret in the coffee aisle.

Smucker Company. "We are passionate about coffee and committed to discovering new offerings to enhance the coffee experience for Millstone coffee drinkers."

New Flavor Profiles:

  • Mayan Black Onyx: Made from high quality Arabica coffee beans grown high in the mountains before being perfectly roasted to produce a dark, full-bodied blend with a rich finish. This blend is Certified USDA Organic and Fair Trade Certified™.
  • House Blend: A medium roast coffee with globally sourced 100% Arabica beans. This well-balanced blend provides a flavorful, smooth finish.
