BIRMINGHAM, Mich. (Oct. 13, 2022) - The Rugby Grille Restaurant in The Townsend Hotel is honored to announce its premium coffee blend, “The Townsend Blend” which has been served daily since the hotel opened in 1988. This blend is locally roasted in small-batches here in Michigan at the Crazy Fresh Coffee facilities (www.crazyfreshcoffee.com).
It is a blend of the finest SHG, Central and South American beans that are roasted separately, then blended. Approximately 2/3’s (67%) of the blend is roasted to a medium dark, semi-sweet chocolate color while the remaining 1/3 (33.3%) is roasted to a dark chocolate brown shade. Both components are then blended together for a finished flavor that satisfies the front, middle and back of the pallet, for a full, yet clean finishing, balanced flavor.
Steven Kalczynski, Managing Director of The Townsend Hotel stated; “Our customers have always mentioned their love for this special blend of coffee. We don’t make your coffee. We make your day!”
This coffee blend was created back in 1988 and is roasted “fresh” for The Townsend, meaning the property places an order on Wednesday, it’s then roasted Thursday for Friday delivery, then again Friday for Monday delivery. It is truly one of the hotel’s signature items. The Rugby Grille staff receive high accolades from the restaurant patrons and guests daily.
