Tom Hanks’ coffee may be the best gift for the holidays this season.
Tom Hanks is one of the most beloved figures in entertainment. He’s been in movies for decades, entertaining us in timeless heartwarming classics such as Big and Forrest Gump, and he’s also known to be just a really nice guy. But now there’s a Tom Hanks coffee to make us love him even more, and it’s for an amazing cause.
What Is Hanx?
The new Tom Hanks coffee line is shooting to the top of our list of favorite coffee brands. It’s called Hanx For Our Troops, and it’s more than a delicious cup of brew. They’re among the food companies that donate to charity—except they take it a step further by donating 100% of their proceeds. Yep, you heard that right!
This brand will support the veterans’ community in the most fragrant and delicious of ways. It’s doing so by partnering with veterans organizations such as the Bob Woodruff Foundation, Headstrong, Hire Heroes USA, and Student Veterans of America.
But buying this coffee is more than a great cause, it’s also going to be a great cup of coffee. Of course, we all have our favorite types of coffee, and to cater to everyone, this line is available in three blends: First Class Joe, available in medium and dark versions, Sgt. Peppermint and Tom’s Morning Magic Blend. And it doesn’t matter what kind of brewer you use for your coffee, because you can get it as coffee grounds, coffee pods and even coffee sticks. So no matter where you go, you can get your cuppa joe in the morning.
Don’t forget to pick up our favorite at-home coffee products for the perfect brew.
How Can I Get Hanx Coffee?
You can order Hanx for Our Troops from givehanx.com, and all blends are available to start shipping before the holidays in December. In a way, it’ll be like Tom Hanks is playing barista at your holiday get-togethers!
