What's in our Mugs—Peetnik Staff Picks
WHAT’S IN OUR MUGS—PEETNIK PICKS WINTER 2024
Are you the kind of person who beelines for the ‘Staff Picks’ shelves at the bookstore? Do you ask your server about their favorite menu item when you dine out? Then you know that the real experts are the people who engage with their products day in and day out. Here are some staff picks from Peetniks who know a thing or two about coffee.
BARIDI BLEND
“The bold juicy flavors of Baridi Blend mellow out into a balanced and almost chocolatey sip when made as cold brew. Smooth enough to be consumed plain, even tastier with oat milk and sugar.”
- Laura S., Sr. Marketing Manager, Innovation
YOSEMITE DOS SIERRAS
“I’ve been brewing Yosemite dos Sierras at home on my Chemex, and it’s been brightening my weekend mornings. I also love that it’s bird-friendly!”
- Jamie S., Asst R & D Manager
ARABIAN MOCHA-JAVA
“From East Coast to West, in a coffeebar, or as my own home barista, when the Arabian Mocha-Java hits my tongue, I find myself right back at home. As familiar and welcoming as it is fresh and exciting time after time."
- Jared V., Coffeebar Manager, Emeryville
NEW GUINEA HIGHLANDS
“A perfectly balanced coffee. Medium-high acidity that comes across as sweet, and medium-full body. There’s a touch of natural vanilla in the aroma of New Guinea Highlands that sets it apart.”
- Eliot J., VP Tea
ORGANIC ALAMEDA MORNING BLEND
“Best combination of roast flavors without excessive acidity. Organic Alameda Morning Blend has become my favorite along with the perennial Major Dickason’s!”
- David C., Sr. Network Engineer, IT
HOUSE BLEND
“The humble House Blend often gets overlooked when we're talking about a great cup of coffee, but that's exactly what House Blend delivers. Toasty, citrusy, a little spicy—to me, it's the perfect cup to start my day."
- Stephanie S., Paralegal
THE SMALL BATCH SERIES
“I love getting mail that’s not junk or bills, so getting a new and different Small Batch microlot coffee every month fresh from the Roastery checks all the boxes. The coffees are always unique and varied—and I love learning about the origins and the farmers who grew the coffees. One click, months of surprises. Love it.”
- Christina S., Sr Writer, Brand Design Creative
GARUDA BLEND
“Garuda is a velvety smooth coffee that stands up well to cream and sugar. It also works amazingly as an espresso, hitting the right balance with nearly any prep style.”
- Vanessa S., Office Services Specialist
LAS HERMANAS
“My favorite morning pairing is Wordle and Las Hermanas. Even if I can’t solve the puzzle, my day is off to a great start with my favorite Peet’s coffee, freshly brewed, in a big mug.”
- Karen K., Sourcing Manager
ESPRESSO FORTE
“The Peet's bean that fulfills all our needs is Espresso Forte. Our espresso machine hopper has them and our French Press infuses them. The profile is nuanced and chocolaty and will brighten your mood."
- Nicole V., Training Manager
