THRIVE coffee was introduced to Chick-Fil-A in 2014 as the fast food industry's first specialty-grade coffee. We spent some time down at the THRIVE headquarters in Roswell to learn more about their blend.

Only 10 percent of coffee worldwide, including Chick-Fil-A's special blend, meets the quality designation set by the Specialty Coffee Association of America standards. THRIVE gives directly to their producers, a network of family farmers in Central America, which allows farmers to earn up to 10 times more for their coffee than traditional revenue models.

The offer for free coffee is valid for one 12-ounce (small) hot coffee or 16-ounce (medium) iced coffee, anytime during regular restaurant hours. Free coffee is limited to one cup per customer, per visit. No additional purchase is necessary.

Chick Fil A's made a bold move to give away free coffee for a month. But as David Farmer, vice president of menu strategy and development for Chick-Fil-A said, "We think our THRIVE Farmers coffee is perfect for any weather. It tastes incredible while also doing good in the world. What better way to let our customers experience it for themselves than to give it away for an entire month?”
