Tree Town Blend from Coffee Company

Tree Town Blend: a fantastically flavorful cup of coffee that does the town proud

Looking for a good coffee to perk up your mornings this month? Something to welcome fall and sip while you watch some football? The Coffee Company crew has crafted a blend that’s caught my attention. The 2025 “vintage” of our annual, autumn-only Tree Town Blend is especially remarkable. This year, they’ve added some exquisite African coffees, bringing even more depth and complexity to an already outstanding blend.

“Tree Town,” as many of you know, is the long-standing nickname for Ann Arbor. Founded in 1824, it was named for the wives of the village’s founders, both named Ann, and the stands of burr oak trees in the area. The “Tree Town” moniker derived from the high volume of trees in the city. Until the arrival of Europeans, most of this part of the world—originally home to the Ojibwe people—would have been fully forested.

Like the town for which it’s named, the Tree Town Blend is a medium roast that’s marvelously well-rounded with great personality. This year’s blend includes beans from our friends at the amazing Daterra Estate in Brazil, along with coffee from Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi, and Guatemala. The Coffee Company crew says,

It tastes of caramel, stone fruit, cocoa. Complex and juicy. Clean, crisp and balanced in filter methods. We love both the V60 Pour Over and Chemex. A press pot yields a bright and juicy cup.

The 2025 Tree Town, to my taste, has a nice roundness that makes it really accessible to most any coffee drinker, but also a lot of complexity that makes it appealing to connoisseurs. Brewed as espresso, the Tree Town is especially toasty! A pour over is fruity! In every form, it has a great chocolatey finish. It makes you want to come back for more—like a visit to Tree Town! The Tree Town Blend is available brewed at the Coffee Company on Plaza Drive, as well as at the Roadhouse and Roadshow, and in bean form at all three locations plus the Deli. You won’t see the Tree Town Blend on the Zingermans.com Mail Order site, but if you email us at [email protected], we’ll be happy to send this taste of the town your way!
