Now, a coffee a day can help support Knights in many ways. A new coffee spot in the John C. Hitt Library \u2014 un-FILTERED, a Barnie\u2019s Coffee & Tea Co. cafe \u2014 not only provides a place to refuel but also ways for caffeine-lovers to give back. A portion of the cafe\u2019s monthly supply costs helps provide food for Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ students in need.<\/p>\n

The venture is the university\u2019s latest partnership<\/a> with the Orlando-founded beverage company, which launched three custom Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½-inspired coffee blends last year that also support Knights. The exclusive offerings include two Knightro blends, a floral and sweet dark roast, and a medium roast with lemon and blueberry notes, as well as a Pegasus chocolate and caramel-flavored blend.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of my best years were at Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ and it feels good to be connected to the university again and do something that makes a difference.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From the sale of each 12-ounce bag of Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ coffee blends is also put toward reducing food insecurity on campus.
