Ugly Mug Coffee Company began in Memphis in 1998 with the mission of providing an excellent product while building a sense of community near the University of Memphis. Over the years the small coffee studio began hand roasting small batches of fair-trade and organic coffee beans. The taste was addictive and locals persuaded grocery stores to carry the coffee. Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc. commissioned Ugly Mug Coffee Company to take this same passion for excellence and concern for people, and create a coffee for Elvis fans to collect and enjoy.
