Veteran’s Blend Coffee

We are supporting military veterans with a medium to light roast special Veteran’s Blend and 10% of all sales of the blend will be donated to the Royal British Legion – annual Poppy Appeal.

Peter Johnston, Director here at John Watt & Son, said: “The business has served the families of military personnel throughout its 150-year history ‚ through the Boer War, two world wars and more recent conflicts like the Falklands, Iraq and Afghanistan. Our servicemen and women have given, and continue to give, so much for their country and we owe every single one of them a great debt of gratitude. The Royal British Legion is a fantastic organisation and one we’re delighted to support.”

Helping the Poppy Appeal annually is especially relevant for the business as Mr Johnston’s uncle, John Graham, who served in the Royal Navy. “My uncle left Penrith in 1947 to join the Navy as a Boy Seaman and he rose through the ranks retiring as a Lieutenant Commander having been awarded an OBE for services to the Royal Navy,” said Mr Johnston.

“As well as helping ex-servicemen and women across the country our Veteran’s Blend is a nice way for me and my family to remember John, in his memory.”

With its fruity, chocolate flavour and well-rounded medium body, this Veteran’s Blend will be a blend of coffee for all coffee lovers to enjoy as well as help a great cause.
