“I’m beyond excited to spill the beans about my very first line of coffees, all inspired by my artwork! As I dive deeper into the world of coffee, I’m discovering that crafting special blends is as intricate as creating a masterpiece on canvas. Who knew that every cup could hold a story as rich and layered as one of my paintings? Let’s be real: artists have been fueled by coffee for eons. Late nights, looming deadlines, and the occasional coffee drip on canvas—yes, I might have dipped my brush in my coffee cup more times than I care to admit. So technically, there’s a little coffee gracing my artworks one way or another. Get ready to taste the creativity in every cup!” – Jasmine Becket-Griffith.
“I’ve personally been a huge fan of Jasmine and Strangeling for…gosh…at least over a decade now; ever since stumbling on her Disney collabs at Downtown Disney (now Disney Springs at Walt Disney World). Since Orlando is our hometown, we’re kinda lucky to have access to Jasmine’s works on display. The Strangeling art just really resonates with her fans, like us, and we absolutely adore her creations. So, when fate presented itself at a recent convention just last Fall, as our booth was literally back-to-back with the Strangeling booth; we walked over some coffee collab tins we’d recently released to give to her, and things just kinda fell into place from there. Jasmine is absolutely the sweetest, and has such an amazing team, and we’re just so honored and humbled by the opportunity to share her prodigious creations with the rest of the coffee-drinking world, paired with some phenomenal coffee creations.” – Kristin Tonsetic, Concept Cafes, Artist Relations.
Adored the world around, these first two works will be featured on collectible coffee tins that make the perfect addition to any collector’s display, as well as the perfect gift. But that’s not all, the always freshly roasted coffee contained within is meticulously roasted to impeccable perfection by coffee collab wizards “Heart of Nails” is everything you’d expect from the title and hauntingly beautiful artwork that features a very gothic aesthetic; a darker medium roast using a specialty grade bean from Uganda that is a bold-hearted brew with a natural mild winey and malty taste to it, a real heartbreaker. “Winter” is quite the contrast, a warm winter snuggle blend of Peru & Guatemalan origins that has more traditional notes of chocolate and cream with a citrus zest; a delicious cozy treat for the long cold winter. Both coffees will be featured all winter long before spring blooms new surprises, and both are available to ship throughout the U.S.

More from Concept Cafes:
Everybody remembers that first opening riff, that mid-song breakdown, that blast beat crescendo that turned them on, and tuned them into metal forever. With our artist partners like Cannibal Corpse, Max and Iggor Cavalera, and Ministry; we’re trying to recapture that moment of metal possession for the fans by immersing them into a metal coffee obsession like no other. As lifelong fans ourselves, we’re constantly seeking out the most epic metal experiences; whether it’s records, live shows, merch, etc., so if we can maybe someday say we were a small part of that collective fan experience, then we’ve done our job. It’s also super important for us to illuminate the fact that these are the artists’ coffee stories, not our own, we’re just the chaotic-evil little elves that help them conjure their visions and forge them into reality for the fans.
We’re not here to snobbishly push conventional coffee culture upon metalheads either, nor will we ever try to flip a quick gimmick on our metal brothers & sisters to make a quick buck. We’re humbled literally everyday with this responsibility, and the opportunity to work with metal legends. This is why we are constantly pushing the boundaries and possibilities, because foremost we believe there is no other comparison to the dedicated devotion metalheads have in keeping metal music alive and stronger than ever! Metal deserves the absolute best when it comes to coffee!
Reality is coffee culture has become basic cookie-cutter over the past couple of decades; so safe and just a shell of itself which once fueled artists and their music across several generations. We want to revive that creative fire, and as far as playing it safe…it’s metal, motorcycles, & horror…what did you expect?!
