Peet's Coffee Heralds the Holiday Season with Joyously Flavorful Offerings

EMERYVILLE, Calif., Nov. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Peet's Coffee®, The Original Craft Coffee™, today unveiled its joyously flavorful 2018 holiday offerings. The festive Coffee First™ lineup features the new Etoile single-origin, annual Holiday Blend, beverage newcomer Dark Chocolate Orange Mocha, returning favorites, and a selection of premium gifts.

Joyously Flavorful: 2018 Annual Holiday Blend and Etoile

The Peet's Coffee 2018 Holiday Blend is crafted with the finest arrivals from around the world. Each sip is warmly spiced with notes of citrus and Mayan chocolate for a deeply roasted, and joyously flavorful cup.

"Stout bodied, deeply roasted, and joyously flavorful, our Holiday Blend is the most ardently awaited coffee of the year," said Doug Welsh, Roastmaster and VP of Coffee, Peet's Coffee. "This year we selected southern Ethiopian coffee for its citrusy perfume, the sublimely syrupy and tobacco-spiced Sumatra of the Batak region, and the Mayan chocolate delights of Guatemala from the small farms of San Martín Jilotepeque."

Available now until 1/8/2019, and while supplies last, the Annual Holiday Blend can be purchased at participating Peet's coffeebar locations and online at www.peets.com, as well as grocery stores nationwide. Prices vary by channel.

The alluring 2018 Etoile is a unique single-origin light roast, also offered only for the holiday season. Sourced from Jimma in Ethiopia, the coffee features full flavor notes of brilliant citrus and potent spice. At $18.00 per pound, Etoile is only available at participating Peet's coffeebar locations while supplies last through 1/8/2019.

Making Spirits Bright: Delight in a Cup of Indulgent Cheer
