Rough Rider Roast Coffee

The Theodore Roosevelt Association and Gotham Coffee Roasters have united to create the Rough Rider Roast, a rich, full-bodied blend inspired by Theodore Roosevelt’s adventurous spirit and unyielding New York grit.

Theodore Roosevelt was famous for his energy, perseverance, and passion for coffee—he was said to drink more than a gallon a day. The Rough Rider Roast captures that same vigor, blending full-bodied beans from sustainable farms with the expert craftsmanship of Gotham Coffee’s master roasters. The result is a rich, bold roast that embodies what Theodore Roosevelt himself called the “strenuous life,” inviting you to work hard, live boldly, and meet each day with courage and conviction.

TR’s story is inseparable from New York City, and so is this coffee. Gotham Coffee Roasters’ Manhattan café at 23 W. 19th Street sits just blocks from the Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace. Rough Rider Roast celebrates Theodore Roosevelt as a legendary New Yorker and devoted coffee lover.
