New Jaguccino blend served up on campus

Christian Hardigree, president of Texas A&M University-Victoria, left, and Belinda Barrientes, retail supervisor of Chartwells, stand with a display offering free samples of the new Jaguccino coffee blend Monday at the Jaguar Java café inside University Commons. A&M-Victoria and Victoria Coffee Roasters have partnered to offer the new coffee blend, which was created to commemorate the investiture of President Hardigree and the university’s transition into The Texas A&M University System. Jaguccino is a dark roasted blend of Guatemalan, Nicaraguan, and Peruvian coffees. Sweet floral aromas start your journey; followed by delicate notes of dark chocolate, berries, and sweet citrus. As it cools, the sweet citrus dominates. The blend will be served in Jaguar Java throughout the month of October, and bags of the coffee are available for purchase.
