Why does the popularity of Longfellow’s Coffee Obama Blend persist, even after so many other products that associated themselves with the President’s name have long disappeared?
We think there are two important reasons why its popularity persists:
Reason #1 There is intelligence behind the idea of Longfellow’s Coffee Obama Blend. The brew consists of three coffee beans that are grown in areas closely related to Mr. Obama’s early life: Kenya (Kenya AA Beans), where his father was born; Hawaii (Hawaiian Kona Extra Fancy Beans), where the President was born and Indonesia (Indonesian Sulawesi Beans), where he spent eight of his first ten years.
Longfellow’s Coffee Obama Blend evolved out of the serendipitous coincidence that Barack Obama’s background is closely associated with three of the world’s premier coffee-growing regions and we selected for the blend the very finest coffees (most expensive, too!) that each of these regions offers.
Reason #2 Longfellow’s Coffee Obama Blend is—simply put—delicious. Each bean origin is individually slowly roasted by an expert roast master, who brings the coffee to a medium-dark Vienna Roast. When the three beans are combined, the result is a full-bodied brew that delivers a powerful, but smooth-tasting cup of coffee. If it weren’t for this indisputable fact that Longfellow’s Coffee Obama Blend tastes so good, then the “gimmick” of the President’s name being attached to it would never result in so many reorders and the coffee would have ultimately been banished to the same ignominy of that ill-fated dog dish.
