Middle Ground
Half-caf, medium roast, Brazil and Colombia. The notes read brown sugar, stone fruit and Dutch cocoa, with high body. Peet's recommends pour-over and cold brew for this one, so it's a good afternoon iced option when you don't want the full dose.
Pick it if Dutch cocoa sounds good to you; you want half-caf.
Best for Afternoon cold brew drinkers easing off caffeine
See Middle Ground →Peru Kovachii
Peruvian coffee grown at 1,200 to 2,200 meters, from four varieties. Brown sugar, stone fruit and nuts, listed as sweet, at a medium roast. Comes in pods too, with grinds offered for most methods. An easygoing daily cup.
Pick it if sweet and nuts sound good to you.
Best for Daily drinkers who like sweet, nutty medium roasts
