Breakfast At Dominique’s and the Ava Gardner™ Trust are thrilled to share the release of the Officially Licensed Ava Gardner Signature coffee blend!
After months of meticulous crafting, the blend, titled The Goddess Blend, has been created with the tastes and desires of Ava Gardner herself in mind. The Goddess Blend is a dark roasted full-bodied blend of Sumatra and Columbian coffees. Each brewed cup is strong, bold, and has the perfect touch of smokiness – very reminiscent of the legacy Ava Gardner left behind.
Each bag is 12oz of fresh ground coffee. The coffee itself is fair trade, organic, sugar-free, vegan-friendly, gluten-free, kosher, and roasted in the USA by a woman-owned roastery with over a decade of experience.
The Goddess Blend packaging features a gold foil signature and a timeless black-and-white image of Ava Gardner taken by Norman Parkinson in December 1953 at the height of Gardner’s fame.
“Ava was an avid coffee drinker who preferred a strong cup. She especially liked coffee in the morning to kick-start her day…
I know Ava Gardner would have adored partnering with Dominique. Ava adored young, energetic, and ambitious entrepreneurs working hard to make their way in the world.”
– Ava Thompson (Co-Trustee and Great Neice of Ava Gardner)
“I created this company as a way to introduce these incredible legacies and their stories to new audiences and as a creative new way to incorporate their glamour into our everyday lives. To be able to have Ava Gardner in our lineup – in our first year as a business at that – is such an incredible honor! She was a trailblazer and lived life her way no matter what and I think that is something we all should take inspiration from. I can only hope Ava herself would be proud to be associated with a small, woman-owned business like ours. We went the extra mile to create coffee that carried the traits Ava looked for in her own brew.”
– Dominique Benedict (Breakfast At Dominique’s Owner)
The coffee blend can be purchased directly from Breakfast At Dominique’s online at HollywoodBlends.com or at the Ava Gardner Museum in Smithfield, NC.
