Ever since Alfred Peet opened the doors of his first small Berkeley shop in 1966, Peet's has been known as a pioneer of fine, distinctive coffees—high-grown, higher quality, and deeply roasted to maximize flavor. Peet's House Blend Dark Roast Coffee is a introduction to our signature style. First crafted by Mr. Peet, this blend of carefully selected, choice beans from our favorite Latin American origins brews a cup that's uniquely rich and approachable, with a pleasant spiciness. It's deep-roasted by hand in small batches to impart the most flavor and aroma. And like all our coffees, it's delivered unimaginably fresh. Bright, balanced flavors and medium body make House Blend inviting and easy to love. Mr. Peet used to call it a "starter coffee,” recommending it to new customers as their “intro” to the Peet’s style. And more than five decades later, Peetniks everywhere are still at home with House.
