Name That Coffee Blend!
I have partnered with my favorite coffee company, New Hall Coffee Roasting Company, and we’re putting out a line of seven blends of Like A Warm Cup of Coffee micro-roasted coffee.
The blends need names…and I want you to name them!
Let’s have a little fun!
Here are the blends I need names for:
- Caramel Vanilla
- Pumpkin Spice
- Christmas (although I’m really leaning toward the Holly Jolly blend)
- Decaf
- Fair Trade/Organic
- Colombian
(The signature morning blend is the 5:16 blend.)
If I pick your name, you will get a free bag of coffee, a free Chalkboard China Like a Warm Cup of Coffee mug, and all the credit!
The Like a Warm Cup of Coffee line will debut in the fall!
If you want to join the coffee naming on Twitter, use the hashtag #namethatblend :)
Hmmm, how about "Fair and Square" for the fair trade blend?
Are you getting sick of me and my 500 suggestions yet?? LOL!

Ok, bear with me and no laughing. They say it takes 100 ideas (or something like that) before finding a good one! But for the pumpkin spice I was thinking: Slice of spice
I don't know how specific you want to be or if your blends will have a further description of their flavor (I am guessing so).
I'll be back if/when I think of more! :-P
I always call decaf a cup of "Why Bother"
For the caramel vanilla, how about Sweet Simplicity – let me explain, ha! Caramel is sweet and vanilla is simple (compared with all the other "flavors" of say ice cream out there), no?
Have you ever looked up "vanilla" in the thesaurus? OUCH! It's labeled as bland, boring, uninspiring, etc. I disagree. I think simple is a great word for it because it's not overbearing, yet it's simple taste is delicious and soothing. No? :-)
.-= Christin´s last blog post … …That Your Faith Would Not Rest on the Wisdom of Men 1 Cor. 2:5 =-.
Here is what I came up with:
Sweet Velvet for the carmel Vanilla
Slow Joe for the decaf
Gust-o-Lantern or Zest-o-Lantern for the Pumpkin Spice
I think this is a great idea!
.-= Jessica´s last blog post … What the What?! =-.
'Comfy Carmel'
I like how that sounds, something that I'd love to drink. :D
'Passionate Pumpkin'
because you are passionate about what you write about.
These two flavs would be my favorite ones to drink!!!
.-= Melissa Doddridge´s last blog post … At The Foot Of The Cross =-.
For the Decaf: "It's the Thought that Counts," or maybe "What's the Point?"
(I drink mostly decaf myself, but sometimes I do wonder why I bother.)
Sweet Serenity or Serene Sweetness. Serene means peaceful, calm, quietness. All the things i think of when I think "coffee"
.-= Christin´s last blog post … …That Your Faith Would Not Rest on the Wisdom of Men 1 Cor. 2:5 =-.
Pumpkin spice makes me thing of fall and Thanksgiving
Home for the Holidays, would be one idea
Fall is in the air, because when you brew it, it smells like fall
Holiday Spice, just because!
OK I'm done, I need a cup of coffee now!!! :)
.-= Wendy´s last blog post … Blessings or Cursing? =-.
Christmas – Santa's Little Helper
Decaf – Buzz-free Brew
.-= Cat @ 3 Kids and Us´s last blog post … Back to School with New wholesome variety Lunchables =-.
Buzz-free Brew…me likey…
Hmmm, for the Caramel Vanilla – how about "Dessert First" and for the Christmas – "Jingle Bell Java"? You know I'll be back as inspiration strikes, whether it's good or not! :)
.-= Lisa @ Stop and Smell the Chocolates´s last blog post … Wait – Am I Shopping In The Future? =-.
Ooooh, Lisa, you have given Holly Jolly a run for its money – I'm lovin' Jingle Bell Java!
For Pumpkin Spice…Reflections of Fall or Autumn Reflections…
Is the decaf the 5:16 w/o caffeine? Then how about 5:16 Unleaded.
Christmas Blend…Jingle Bean Brew
Carmel Vanilla…Sticky 'Nilla or Sweet 'Nilla
.-= Kim´s last blog post … Great Offer: 25% Off Oshkosh Coupon for August =-.
Decaf = Prudent Perk! LOL
Proverbs 16:21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent.
for the Decaf: "Fools Gold" that's all I'm drinking now adays ..
for the Vanilla blend: Vanilla vacation
for the Colombian: Cafe Ole`
for the Fair Trade: Fair Game
.-= Jacquelyn´s last blog post … Sunday's breasts =-.
I LOVE Jingle Bell Java!!! Good one Lisa!
.-= Christin´s last blog post … …That Your Faith Would Not Rest on the Wisdom of Men 1 Cor. 2:5 =-.
"Peace of Mind Blend" for decaf? Because it won't wire you like regular coffee.
.-= Christin´s last blog post … …That Your Faith Would Not Rest on the Wisdom of Men 1 Cor. 2:5 =-.
For pumpkin spice – "Fall Mornings"
.-= Kristina´s last blog post … Pet Day – Day #3 =-.

Sorry one more… I am actually listening to christmas music right now because I do that all year long… haha… anyways… "Baby, it's cold outside"… not sure if thats allowed though… k I am done, good luck with your naming! I think you may be inspired too if you taste each coffee… have a coffee naming party maybe and get your guests to try each flavour!
.-= Candace´s last blog post … Series: Look great, Feel Great: Key One =-.
You all are BRILLIANT! I am going to have such a hard time choosing!

I don't have any brilliant suggestions but would love to see you keep the reason for the season in the Christmas coffee name somehow.
How fun for you!! Just off the top of my head, how 'bout "Fallin' for You" or "Taste of Autumn" for your Pumpkin Spice blend. ?? I'll put my thinking cap on and get back to you if it works. lol ;)

.-= Lorie´s last blog post … Photo Card =-.
I don't know, I'm still liking "Wimpy Blend" for decaf, but that may be just a bit bold. ;-)
You can tell [from the decaf name ideas] that there are some serious coffee drinker's here! Ha!
I love the "One Eye Open", and "Be Still Blend", for decaf!

.-= Sandee´s last blog post … Unplugged Pt 4: at the soccer field…knit some, pearls too =-.
I always thinking of to having something extraordinary. Linking two or more words to each other, sounds cool. Something like this:
1. Coffella
2. Coffice
3. Coffeecaf
4. Coffelain
I don't know, maybe it will be different naming on branding.

.-= Nurdin´s last blog post … Antisocial Premium WordPress Theme =-.
I love this post and I love the ideas so far! I mean, mine can't even compete with what is listed here! Just wanted to give props to some great titles……Sarah Mae, you might need some help picking!!! :)
.-= Sarah W´s last blog post … Whata kid! =-.
Yup, Sarah Mae, you've got some gooders in there. It will be tricky to choose. Perhaps a vote might be in order?
Definitely like the Holly Jolly blend (seeing as how my name is Holly!). The Cup of Jose is sweet.
These definitely need to be able to be shipped North of the border to the good 'ol Canadian folks such as myself!
I love that you ask all us ladies to do things like this! It is so much fun! Thank You!
Here are some ideas I thought of:
Caramel Vanilla: Drizzle Some Coffee On My Sundae!
Pumpkin Spice: A Morning In November
Christmas: All I Want For Christmas Is This Coffee!
Decaf: Unleaded And Proud Of It!
Fair Trade/Organic: Aroma Of Coffee Culture
Columbian: Juan Valdez Who?
I hope you like these names. I enjoyed thinking them up.
Have a blessed day dear sister!
.-= Maralena´s last blog post … Baptisms =-.
This looks like so much fun that I had to get into the act in name coffees,
Caramel Vanilla: Carnivanilla (Play on Carnival)
Pumpkin Spice: Winter Warm java,
Decaf: Autopilot Joe, Relaxed Joe
Fair Trade/Organic: Family O' Fair , Cup of Grace
Love jingle bell Java! Very creative!! This was fun.
Lisa
Here are my names :-): (all picked with the idea of God's love enveloping you with each sip)
Caramel Vanilla: Sweet Surrender
Pumpkin Spice: Autumn Embrace
Christmas: Greatest Gift
Fair Trade/Organic: Pure Innocence
I really like these names Christiana – thank you!
What a great response you've gotten to this idea.. such a great idea letting everyone's creativity "blend"! I already submitted a few names but couldn't sleep last night, so instead of counting sheep, I was thinking coffee!!! I only came up with one for the DECAF- i thought just the simple word- CHILLAX! would be appropriate.. I'm a lightweight and have to drink decaf for health reasons, it keeps me relaxed and I still get that "warm cup of coffee" feeling!
Can't wait to see more ideas and your final selections!
