New private‑label flavors, Holiday Spice and Dark Chocolate Mint, are now on shelves, brightening mugs and mornings throughout the holiday season.
Lakewood, Colo., Dec. 10 2025 – The holidays aren’t complete without a cozy mug in hand. This year Natural Grocers®, the nation’s largest family‑operated organic and natural grocery retailer, is inviting shoppers to “sip the season” with the return of its limited‑edition Natural Grocers® Brand Organic Winter Seasonal Coffees. The two new blends – Holiday Spice and Dark Chocolate Mint – combine festive flavor profiles with the high‑quality standards customers expect from the retailer’s house brand.
Purposeful Sourcing, Better Coffee
Natural Grocers’ private‑label coffee program underscores the company’s commitment to responsible sourcing and superior taste. Since 2018, the retailer has offered the first national private‑label grocery coffee line sourced exclusively from organic and Fair Trade Certified™ beans. Each blend is made with 100 % Arabica beans harvested by hand on steep, non‑mechanized terrain, ensuring consistency and premium quality.
A Festive Flavor Duo for the Holiday Season
- Organic Holiday Spice – A warm, aromatic blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and classic baking spices, rounded out with subtle notes of fresh holly and pine. The profile is designed to evoke the scent of a holiday kitchen in every cup.
- Organic Dark Chocolate Mint – A lively combination of crisp peppermint and rich dark chocolate. The mint cools the palate before giving way to a smooth cocoa finish, creating a coffee experience reminiscent of a peppermint patty.
- Pricing – Both varieties are sold at Natural Grocers’ “Always Affordable” price of $10.99 per 10‑oz bag, with an “Even More Affordable” price of $9.99 per 10‑oz bag for Npower® members.
A Perfect Stocking Stuffer (or Self‑Care Splurge)
The seasonal coffees are an easy gift for coffee lovers or a personal treat. Pairing the blends with Natural Grocers Brand Organic Chocolate ($3.99 per 3.17‑oz bar) or Bulk Organic Dark Chocolate Almonds ($4.79 per 6‑oz bag) creates an indulgent, yet budget‑friendly, holiday gift set.
Additional Holiday Savings
Beyond coffee, Natural Grocers is running its annual Holly Deals™ event through Dec. 22, offering discounts on a range of organic and natural products. Shoppers can find full details on the retailer’s website or by following its social‑media channels.
Business and Technology Insights
The launch of limited‑edition, organic coffee blends highlights several broader trends in the specialty grocery sector:
- Private‑Label Growth – Retailers are increasingly leveraging private‑label brands to capture higher margins and build customer loyalty. By controlling the supply chain from bean sourcing to packaging, Natural Grocers can offer competitive prices while maintaining strict organic and Fair Trade standards.
- Sustainable Sourcing Technology – Advanced traceability platforms allow Natural Grocers to verify bean origin, certification status, and farming practices in real time. This transparency meets rising consumer demand for sustainability and helps mitigate supply‑chain risks associated with climate variability.
- Seasonal Innovation – Introducing limited‑edition flavors creates a sense of urgency and drives incremental traffic during peak shopping periods. The holiday‑specific profiles also differentiate the brand from commodity coffee offerings found at mass retailers.
- Digital Engagement – While the retailer’s physical stores remain central, its digital outreach—through email newsletters, mobile apps, and social media—amplifies product awareness and supports data‑driven inventory management to avoid stockouts during high‑demand periods.
- Cost Management – By sourcing 100 % Arabica beans from non‑mechanized farms, Natural Grocers balances premium quality with cost efficiencies achieved through long‑term farmer partnerships and bulk purchasing agreements.
