At the end of 2024, Haines City announced its new signature coffee, making it the first municipality in Polk County to have a branded blend. Created by Polk Roasters, the Haines City Cafecito Roast has a s’mores-esque flavor with notes of milk chocolate, graham cracker, and toasted marshmallow.
We can’t lie, we were a little jealous to hear this news. In our opinion, no one does coffee better than our locally owned shops — so what if Lakeland created its own blend?
Now, you be the roaster. If you were creating a coffee blend inspired by Swan City, what would it taste like? Put on a pot and start brainstorming if it would be bold or subtle, spicy or sweet, and send in your caffeine concepts.
