Peet's Coffee

Peet's Coffee is a coffee roaster and retailer started in 1966 by Alfred Peet, who had learned the trade at his father's coffee and tea business in Alkmaar, Holland, with one shop at Vine and Walnut in Berkeley, California. Peet's Coffee, Inc. now operates from Emeryville, California, selling through peets.com, its Coffeebars and grocery stores in all 50 states. It bought Mighty Leaf Tea in 2014.

What Peet's Coffee sells

• Coffee sorted by roast, from dark blends such as Major Dickason's Blend to the medium Big Bang and the Bright Collection, plus decaf and half-caff
• K-Cup pods, espresso capsules and L'OR Barista capsules
• Cold brew and Ultra Coffee Concentrate
• Mighty Leaf tea in bags and loose leaf, including organic blends, matcha and masala chai
• Mugs, brewing gear and e-gift cards

According to Peet's, most coffees on its site come in 1 lb bags only, with some Reserve coffees in half-pound sizes. The company says its roasters train for 10,000 hours, and that Major Dickason's Blend dates from 1969, when a retired army sergeant of that name brought the idea to Alfred Peet.
