On May 30, 2007, we celebrated the opening of our new artisan roasting facility with an official “Toast to the Roast” with those who contributed to its building and members of our community Located in Alameda, CA, just six miles from our home office in Emeryville, CA, the opening of our new roastery facility marks an important milestone for Peet’s, as we meet the growing demand for our coffees and teas without compromising the same quality practices Peet’s has upheld for the past 41 years.

Pat O'Dea, president and chief executive officer of Peet's Coffee & Tea, toasts the first official roast

The unique specifications of the building, equipment, and layout were all custom-designed by Peet’s to support our distinctive approach to hand-roasting coffee, to order, in small batches and delivering it fresh within 24 hours of roasting. In addition, Peet’s new roasting facility was developed with a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) approach in all areas of design and construction – and features recycled materials, water-efficient landscaping and plumbing, low-energy lighting and heating, and will use “green” electrical power.
