Breaking: Self-Proclaimed ‘Coffee Connoisseur’ Sofia Vergara Pays Tribute to Colombian Roots With Launch of ‘Dios Mío’ Coffee
The fair trade brand launches with three roasts, all blended by a team of female coffee growers.
Sofia Vergara is paying tribute to her Colombian roots — and having some fun along the way — with a new coffee brand dubbed “¡DÍOS MIO!“
Available now on Walmart.com, ¡DÍOS MIO! COFFEE is a fair trade brand that launches with three roasts, all blended by a team of female coffee growers. The name riffs off the popular Spanish expression, that Vergara says is “used by Latinos when discovering the perfect taste and flavor.”
Vergara’s coffee is available as ground coffee in a light, medium and dark roast. Each bag is 12 oz. in size and you can choose from a single pack, two-pack (like the above) or a three-pack of ¡DÍOS MIO! COFFEE.
The actress describes her light roast as an abrazo de abuela, or a grandmother’s hug. Think a smooth and sweet cup with a hint of fruit and acidity. The medium roast, meantime, features notes of nuts, white chocolate and brown sugar, while the dark roast is predictably bold and strong, with hints of cocoa, caramel and smoke.
You can also pick up Vergara’s coffee in K-cups, compatible with Keurig coffee makers. Each K-cup pack features 22 pods, and you can once again choose from light, medium and dark roasts.
Nespresso users can pick up ¡DÍOS MIO! COFFEE in a handy 40-count of pods (four boxes of 10 pods each). The mini pods are compatible with most Nespresso coffee makers and espresso machines.
All of the coffee is sourced and produced in Columbia, in conjunction with the Federación Nacional de Cafeteros (The National Federation of Coffee Growers, or “FNC”). The partnership helps to ensure production and quality standards, while supporting local coffee farmers and suppliers.
Vergara, a self-proclaimed “coffee connoisseur,” says she wanted to launch her coffee brand as a way to honor her Colombian heritage while paying tribute to Latina culture and entrepreneurship. “
“¡DÍOS MIO! COFFEE comes from my love of Colombian coffee and my high standards when it comes to the quality of my coffee,” the actress says, in a press release. “I grew up in Colombia, drinking Colombian coffee. We have spent the last few years creating these blends with an amazing team of female coffee growers behind us. Women represent 30% of Colombian coffee growers, and it’s an honor to highlight their families and legacies.”
¡DÍOS MIO! COFFEE is the latest release from Vergara available at Walmart. In addition to the coffee brand, the actress has her own namesake line of denim, swimwear, apparel and home decor. Shop all the Sofia Vergara Walmart collections here.
