TORRANCE, CALIF.—Farmer Brothers has launched Artisan Collection by Farmer Brothers, the company’s first specialty line of world-class coffees that are available through its nationwide direct-store-delivery (DSD) network. The line includes unique single origins as well as traditional coffeehouse favorites. Further, every bag of Artisan Collection coffees comes in innovative, one-way valved packaging to maintain a peak level of freshness and flavor. This unique line is one of the very few sustainably produced coffees sold at this scale through nationwide DSD distribution.
As part of Farmer Brothers’ sustainability mission of reducing impact on the environment, these coffees are roasted in a LEED Silver Certified facility that was built with recycled materials and is operated with industry-leading practices for waste control and energy consumption. What’s more, proceeds from the sale of these coffees support food security projects in Central America coffee communities.
Fourteen new varieties are now available in the Artisan Collection line, and each variety is handcrafted in small batches, yielding the most flavorful cup of coffee possible. The majority of the blends are either Rainforest Alliance Certified or USDA Certified Organic and Fair Trade Certified. The new portfolio will target “coffee destination” establishments such as upscale restaurants, college campuses, hospitality, gaming channels and coffeehouses.
“Our customers are excited, and their response to the Artisan Collection has been beyond our expectations,” said Michael Keown, President and CEO, Farmer Brothers. “The Artisan Collection by Farmer Brothers provides a new level of handcrafted quality, freshness and sustainability with our enhanced world-class specialty coffee capabilities, nationwide reach and a deeper commitment to social responsibility.”
Artisan Collection by Farmer Brothers offers a range of light, medium and dark roast coffee blends.
