Peet's Coffee

Baridi Blend

An all-African blend, Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Rwanda, with Seville orange, toffee and white flower. High acidity on a medium roast. Peet's recommends drip, pour-over, French press and even cold brew, so it's flexible. Just not for espresso.

Pick it if Seville orange and white flower sound good to you.

Best for Drip and cold-brew drinkers who like a bright cup
