Why You Should Try Peet’s Coffee Beans
Est. Reading Time: 3 Minutes
Who doesn’t love a warm cup of joe first thing in the morning? Or an afternoon pick-me-up, a weekend treat, or a boost to help you power through your next business trip? Not only does coffee give you a lovely jolt of caffeine, but it also provides a few nutritional benefits when consumed in moderation (five or fewer 8-ounce cups per day for healthy adults). Coffee contains antioxidants that help fight off disease and act as an anti-inflammatory. There are also traces of potassium, magnesium, and B vitamins found in coffee. So drink up, and read on to learn why Peet’s coffee beans offer a great, sustainable taste profile.
The quality of your coffee does matter, especially if you plan to drink coffee every day.
Coffee is susceptible to mold and other contaminants which can and should be a serious concern for your health. Additionally, coffee beans are prone to defects caused by growing conditions and changes in climate. If you would like to have a thriving environment for years to come, you should generally be concerned about the environmental effects of growing coffee.
What’s the solution to all these concerns? You want your coffee company to carefully select each bean from the top coffee-growing regions in the world, and you can get that with Peet’s Coffee. Peet’s selection process focuses on protecting the environment and supporting the local coffee communities and farmers.
The company puts a lot of effort into social responsibility, which includes measuring environmental and economic conditions at their selected farms, investing in their farmers’ growth and community initiatives, and funding coffee plant science. Peet’s has also increased their organic coffee line, knowing that organic growing methods support the farmers and tend to treat the environment better.
Of course, your selected coffee has to have a tremendous flavor to make each sip satisfying. The roasting method and timing of coffee beans are extremely important in shaping a bean’s flavor profile. The best coffee flavor develops with a fresh roast—that’s why Peet’s Coffee doesn’t roast their coffee beans until they’re ordered. The fresher the roast, the fresher the flavor and the less likely the beans will go rancid.
Coffee beans should also be purchased whole rather than ground. Beans should be ground no more than 15 minutes prior to brewing to also enhance the flavor and retain the most nutrients from the coffee (remember those antioxidants!). While Peet’s Coffee does sell K-cup pods and espresso capsules, the rest of their coffee comes in whole bean form.
Not a coffee drinker? No problem!
Peet’s Coffee also sells organic Mighty Leaf tea that uses organic and fair trade sourcing. You can choose from loose leaf, tea bags, or iced tea of many flavors.

Do check in with your primary care physician if you are having any adverse health effects from caffeine. Coffee is generally considered safe for healthy adults as long as consumption does not exceed five 8-ounce cups per day. Also, keep in mind any added sugars, creamers, milks, and syrups added to your coffee.
