From the greatest coffee growing areas, Pete’s carefully chooses and samples all of the choicest flavors. The best coffee is made purely of Arabic beans; and the best quality beans are grown in rich volcanic soil and then collected carefully by hand, only when the coffee cherry becomes perfectly ripe. After they are picked, the pulp is removed and the green bean exposed. Next, the beans are carefully sorted and categorized by color, shape, size and density. The farmers offer them the best of these carefully graded beans and Pete’s chooses the best of the best. So, you can see the time and effort put into the selection of their coffee beans, only the freshest and highest quality make it to Pete’s shelves.
