And there's a good reason for that: our memories are tightly woven into our senses, with taste and smell being the chief sensory gatekeepers of our past. With this release, we celebrate yet another gas station relic of our youth: the often messy, infinitely slurpable slushee. Whether yours was red or blue, carbonated or still, fruit-flavored or soda-adjacent—everyone had a favorite and made it their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs a concept, the slushee wasn’t exactly an intentional concoction. In 1958, Omar Knedlik – the owner of a local Dairy Queen in Kansas – began storing sodas in his freezer after the restaurant’s soda machine went kaput. The sodas thawed to a slush when taken out of the freezer and sold to patrons, and soon Omar realized that people actually seemed to prefer them that way! By 1962, he had secured a patent and a logo for what became the original ICEE machine. And in 1965, he sold three of those machines to the company that might’ve provided you your very first slushee-slurping experience: 7-Eleven.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs part of the licensing deal with ICEE, 7-Eleven agreed to name their slush product the Slurpee. This triggered a now very long list of alternate names for the drink: ICEE, Slurpee, slush, slushy, slushie, and slushee… just to name a few. Whatever you came to call this gas station darling, we hope you’ll at least agree that we can all call it one thing: DELICIOUS.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHOW WE DID IT |\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRecreating this beverage as a coffee offering came with its fair share of challenges. The result needed to be intense and fruity, but also crushable and sweet. To accomplish this, we began with a natural lot from Ethiopia, which really grounds the flavor profile of the blend. Next, we added equal parts of a naturally processed coffee from Costa Rica and a Dragonfruit co-fermented coffee from Colombia, both of which contribute plenty of red-painted flavors. Jhonatan Gasca’s proprietary Pacamara lot blends processing methods exceptionally well, and we knew it had a home here. Finally, Jairo Arcila’s loud Lychee co-ferment adds a little more life to the party: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e35% Mulugeta Muntasha - Natural (Arbegona, Ethiopia)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e20% Lica Torres - Black Cherry (Rivas, Brunca, Costa Rica)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e20% Jairo Arcila - Dragonfruit (Armenia, Quindio, Colombia)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e18% Jhonatan Gasca - Pacamara (Bruselas, Huila, Colombia)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e7% Jairo Arcila - Lychee (Armenia, Quindio, Colombia)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHOW IT TASTES | \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eConsider this coffee an ode to the gas station slushee of your dreams! It’s intense like blue raspberry, red as a cherry popsicle, resembles the citrus profile of lemon Italian ice, and somehow remains as crushable as a bag of peach rings (another favorite gas station pick-me-up, we might add). It’s certainly intense but surprisingly crushable—and definitely ready for all things summer. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducers | \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMulugeta Muntasha, Lica Torres, Jairo Arcila, \u0026amp; Jhonatan Gasca\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcess |\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMixed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-3a63d0be-7fff-abe0-aa59-5ee74a5e9bba\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVariety | \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eMixed\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Black \u0026 White Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53666920628537,"sku":"BWSO-FUT-SSIN","price":18.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2988\/2574\/files\/TheFutureSummerSlush_onlineCard_4x_7.png?v=1782760623","url":"https:\/\/www.blackwhiteroasters.com\/products\/the-future-summer-slush-instant-coffee","provider":"Black \u0026 White Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
