Recovery Roast

Recovery Roast is a custom-roasted coffee created by VCU’s Rams in Recovery and Afterglow Coffee Cooperative. There are now ten editions of Recovery Roast coffee, including one created for Tate Modern in London. Recovery Roast is also served on Free Hot Coffee Bikes around the world. This edition of the blend is made up of two coffees: the first is a co-op coffee from the Cauca region of Colombia, the other is from the Huehuetenango region of Guatemala. Both coffees are medium roasted to bring out some citrus and red fruit notes with an overall very balanced and sweet cup.

Founded in 2013, Rams in Recovery provides direct support for students in recovery from substance use disorders and seeks to create a recovery friendly campus. We believe that students should never have to choose between their recovery and their education. We send 50% of the profits from sales of this coffee back to Rams in Recovery to fund the Recovery Scholars program, which supports students in their academic and career endeavors.
