Chances are you have a nerdy coffee mug of some kind—or probably a few. Maybe you have one with a Game of Thrones House Stark symbol or a Star Wars Rebel Alliance emblem. But what if you had some actually nerdy coffee to pour into those coffee mugs? Pop Culture Coffee has you covered. They are introducing several brands of coffee based on some very beloved properties, starting with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. They’re arriving just in time for their big 40th anniversary. You can read the details and check out the first flavors and packaging images for all of these coffee brands below, starting with the Turtles.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Pop Culture Coffee
The Turtles’ new “mutated” coffees are 100% organic, ethically sourced, and arrive in artificially flavored ground coffee bags. Each depicts a Turtle in the style of the classic 1980s animated series that helped launch an enduring Turtle empire. Two weeks later, PCC is offering up four cold brews, each themed with 16bit pixel art from the four-player arcade game by Konami, which debuted in 1989. You can purchase them individually or in a four-pack featuring each of the Turtles.
TMNT: Shell-Shocked Sugar Cookie
A combo of sugar cookies and almonds featuring team leader Leonardo.
TMNT: Cowabunga Caramel
A wonderful caramel and coconut team-up with the loveable Michelangelo on the bag. It’s totally “Booyakasha!”
TMNT: Half-Shell Hazelnut
A nutty hybrid of hazelnut and sweet crème, adorned with Donatello.
TMNT: Turtle Power Peanut Butter Cup
A delectable peanut butter cup combination, depicting Raphael.
The folks at Pop Culture Coffee also have other amazing flavors recently revealed, based on Star Trek and Ghostbusters:
Star Trek Pop Culture Coffee
The first classic Star Trek coffee brand out of spacedock is Captain’s Choice, a smooth medium roast featuring Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) on the bag. Following that up is Vulcan Vanilla, a Madagascar vanilla roast featuring the enigmatic Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy). The U.S.S. Enterprise adorns the back of both bags. You’ll want to beam these down into your standard Starfleet issue coffee mug right away.
And soon dark Klingon Raktajino will arrive, a brown sugar roast, featuring The Next Generation’s Worf. This was a favorite drink at Quark’s bar on Deep Space Nine. To celebrate First Contact Day, there will be the Federation French Roast, featuring Captain Jean-Luc Picard, and a light Borg Blend roast highlighting the Borg Queen from Star Trek: First Contact on the bag. More Trek coffees will release throughout the year. Hopefully, we’ll get one for Voyager’s Captain Janeway, a big-time coffee connoisseur.
Ghostbusters Pop Culture Coffee
Back on Earth, New York to be exact, Pop Culture Coffee is offering a new series of Ghostbusters blends, timed for the release of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. Among the flavors is Ecto-Espresso, a caramel-chocolate blend featuring everyone’s favorite green ghost, Slimer. Puftmellow is a vanilla-marshmallow manifestation depicting the Mini Stay-Pufts, seen in both Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Frozen Empire. Not pictured, but coming soon, is Death Chill, a chocolatey-minty libation best served iced. There’s also Ray’s Occult, with the blend said to be among the bookstores’ “best-kept secrets.” And finally, there’s Stay S’Mored, evoking the campfire favorite, only now with a Ghostbusters twist. These will get your proton packs at full power on any given morning.
