Arcade Fire's Win Butler Gets Signature Coffee

. (Radio.com) You know you've made it when get your own coffee blend--at least in indie rock, where it's become a rite of passage over the past few years. Arcade Fire's Win Butler is the latest artist to receive that honor, joining the ranks of LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy, David Lynch, Wilco, and Will Oldham, Stereogum reports.

Butler's signature blend was created in collaboration with La Columbe Coffee and is a little more personal for the artist than some of the other rocker variations.

For one, the beans come from Haiti, the origin of wife Regine Chassagne's family. The country also served as inspiration for the band's last album, 2013's Reflektor.

Butler's coffee is also possibly more worthwhile buying since proceeds of the blend, dubbed "RaRa," will benefit Partners in Health and Haiti Coffee Academy.
