A charity has launched its own coffee blend to help raise funds for its bursary scheme.
The Boaz Project in Sutton Scotney, which supports adults with learning disabilities through farm-based activities, has launched the coffee with the help of Alresford-based River Coffee.
The charity’s new coffee, named Ewe-phoric, is priced at £9.50 for a 250g bag, with 50 per cent profit from each sale going directly to Boaz.
Cat Philips, events and volunteer coordinator at the Boaz Project, said: "We wanted the name to be fun, unique and reflect the beautiful setting that Boaz enjoys.
"So, with a special nod to seven sheep on the farm, Ewe-phoric was born."
All profits from the coffee will support the charity’s bursary fund, which helps cover fees and transport costs for its members.

The beans are roasted, packaged, and supplied by River Coffee.
Ms Philips said: "When River Coffee approached us with the idea of becoming our charity partner in 2025, we secretly hoped that we might develop a bespoke blend.
"Fortunately for us, they have an entrepreneurial spirit and embraced the idea."
The coffee label features an oil painting of the Test Valley landscape, donated by Kings Worthy artist Emma Lowres.
Emily-Kate Stuart of River Coffee said: "We have loved co-creating this custom coffee.
"Boaz sells a range of homemade products from eggs to jam to birdboxes.
"Adding a custom coffee blend seemed like a natural fit."
Boaz members, volunteers, and staff took part in a tasting session to choose between two blends, with the winning coffee originating from Brazil.
Ms Stuart said: "It’s a classic blend, packed with sweetness which pairs excellently with milk as well as making a bold, black coffee."
The partnership between River Coffee and the Boaz Project reflects a shared commitment to meaningful, hands-on work and supporting adults with learning disabilities.
River Coffee founder Will Harrigan has a personal connection to the charity—his older brother, who has autism, previously attended the Boaz Project.
The addition of a custom coffee blend expands the charity’s existing range of homemade goods, which already includes eggs, jam, and birdboxes.
Ewe-phoric coffee is now available to purchase directly from Boaz at Hill Farm.
