World of Coffee has introduced an officially licensed ‘I LOVE NY’ coffee collection in partnership with the NY Department of Economic Development.
The first licensed product to debut features a proprietary blend of ground, medium-roast coffee that is crafted with 100% Arabica beans.
Following the medium roast offering, World of Coffee will also release a whole bean, dark roasted Espresso blend inspired by the I LOVE NY brand.
“We’ve created a special blend just the way New Yorkers like it—rich, full-bodied, and uncompromising in flavor,” said World of Coffee president, Charlie Newman. “Since 1984, we’ve supplied New York’s most celebrated storefronts and establishments with the highest quality gourmet coffee, so we’re honored to be the roaster behind this historic product line.”
The partnership with World of Coffee was brokered by I LOVE NY’s licensing agency, Brand & Blend.
“We’re excited that World of Coffee is offering this exceptional blend that celebrates the energy and excitement of New York State,” said Brand & Blend SVP, Sarah Benson. “Coffee felt like a natural fit—something that fuels both everyday life and unforgettable adventures for residents and visitors alike.”
World of Coffee will be presenting the I Love NY products at the 2025 Summer Fancy Food Show from June 29 to July 1 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.
Currently available across the United States, the officially licensed products can be purchased in-store at select I LOVE NY gift shops.
It can also be found online through Walmart and Amazon, in addition to the official I LOVE NY Coffee website.
