And as we say ‘Wake up and smell the future!’”
Santana partnered with the Icon Global Coffee Company to kick off the company. “All of us at Icon Global Coffee Company are humbled and proud to partner with Carlos Santana, his family and the entire organization as well as The Milagro Foundation,” said Icon Global Coffee Company CEO Greg Ousley via release. “Coffee is a global business and touches and impacts billions of people’s lives each day.

Through support of The Carlos Santana Coffee Company, fans, followers and friends can have “Coffee with Carlos” and we can change the world together.”
