Why We Created Liberty Roast — Celebrating America's Semiquincentennial

250 Years of Freedom. One New Roast.

On July 4th, 2026, the United States of America turns 250 years old. It's called the Semiquincentennial — a quarter-millennium of independence, sacrifice, and the relentless pursuit of something better.

That kind of milestone doesn't come around twice. So we decided to mark it the only way we know how: with an exceptional cup of coffee.

Liberty Roast is our newest limited-edition release — a high-scoring Brazilian medium roast, small-batch roasted right here in Central, Ohio. Rich, smooth, full-bodied, and absolutely loaded with flavor. We created it specifically for America's 250th anniversary, and we're releasing it in limited quantities.

When it's gone, it's gone.

What Makes Liberty Roast Different

We source a lot of coffee. We've cupped beans from every major growing region on the planet. Liberty Roast stands out because the Brazilian beans we selected for this blend are among the highest-scoring coffees we've ever worked with.

Here's what that means in practice:

• Specialty Grade — Top 6% of all coffee grown worldwide. Only beans scoring 80+ on the SCA scale earn this designation. Liberty Roast clears that bar comfortably.
• Medium Roast — Roasted at 435°F+ for 12–15 minutes. This isn't a light roast that some people feel tastes thin or overly bright or a dark roast that burned away the nuance. It's the sweet spot — where you taste the bean and the roast.
• Brazilian Origin — Brazilian coffees are known for their smooth body, low acidity, and rich chocolate and nutty undertones. This blend leans into all of those strengths.
• Small-Batch Roasted in Ohio — Every bag is roasted in small batches at our facility in Central Ohio. No mass production. No shortcuts.

Tasting Notes

• Rich chocolate undertones
• Smooth, full body with low acidity
• Clean, bold finish
• Subtle nutty sweetness

The Liberty Roast + Freedom Mug Bundle

We paired Liberty Roast with our Freedom Mug — a 15oz, heavy-duty ceramic mug proudly made in the USA. Two American originals in one bundle.

• Bundle Price: $42.44 (save $2.50)
• Limited Stock: Bundle availability is tied to Freedom Mug inventory. Once the mugs are gone, the bundle's gone.

Whether you're keeping it for yourself or giving it as a July 4th coffee gift, this is the patriotic coffee set.

Why the Semiquincentennial Matters

The word Semiquincentennial means 250th anniversary. America's last major milestone was the Bicentennial in 1976 — 50 years ago. The next one won't come until 2076.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime moment. And at Hunter's Blend, our values — Faith, Family, and Freedom — aren't a marketing tagline. They're the reason we exist. Creating a limited-edition roast for America's 250th birthday felt less like a product launch and more like an obligation.

Liberty Roast is our way of raising a cup to the men and women who built this country, who defend it, and who live its values every single day.

Brewing Recommendations

• Ratio: 1–2 tablespoons per 6oz of water
• Best Methods: Drip, pour-over, or French press
• Pro Tip: For Liberty Roast specifically, try a slightly coarser grind than your usual medium roast. The Brazilian beans open up beautifully with a bit more extraction time.
