PT’s Coffee Roasting Co. - Direct Trade Coffee, Great Coffee, Exclusive Coffee

WE’RE ROASTER OF THE YEAR!

Download the PDFTopeka, KS (October 22, 2008) – PT’s Coffee Roasting Co. has been named Roast Magazine’sRoaster of the Year” for 2009 in the publication’s November / December 2008 issue released today.
The annual “Roaster of the Year” title is awarded to candidates that serve coffee of superior quality, demonstrate a strong commitment to sustainable practices and their employees, among other criteria.
“We never set out with the intent of winning awards,” said PT’s Coffee co-founder Jeff Taylor, “but it is gratifying to gain recognition for doing business the way that we feel is right; for example, through our Direct Trade program that develops relationships with farmers who are rewarded for exceptional quality, sustainability and commitment to their communities.”

PT’s Coffee edged out North America’s top specialty coffee roasters in the large (Macro) roaster category (companies roasting more than 100,000 pounds of coffee annually) to win the industry accolade.

“I am proud to have PT’s Coffee Roasting Co. represent Roast magazine as our 2009 Roaster of the Year,” said publisher Connie Blumhardt. “PT’s Coffee encompasses all the qualities that we look for in our Roaster of the Year – environmentally and socially responsible, innovative roasting, a strong commitment their employees and of course, serving great coffee. ”

Two categories of the award are presented each year. Winning the small (Micro) roaster category was Coffee Klatch of San Dimas, CA. Owner Mike Perry is a friend and frequent coffee buyer with PT’s Coffee.

    Congratulations on your award.

    Working on reaching foodservices operators with an easier way to incorporate organic choices into menus.

    Distribution can be a problem.

    Amazon can be the answer for many small time operators that cannot afford minimum asked by most distributors.

    We are partnering with Amazon as the fulfillment partner and launching GreenFoodservices.com around the end of the month.

    This site is just focused on organic.

    Would like to include your products, and did find you listed on Amazon, but many don’t have pics and you are not stocked at Amazon. We prefer that arrangement as it provides the best value for our customers since they get free shipping.

    Have you ever considered working with Amazon?

    We will be using lots of ways to get our name out there and bring customers to the site. Might work for you to send foodservice customers to us as they usually want other organic products to build an organic program.

    Contact me if you are interest.

    [...] Kaldi’s, however, has a formidable opponent in the PT’s Coffee crew who will once again be rolling in from Topeka, KS. Taking first and third last year, their barista, Pete Licata, took the the top spot before going on to receive second place nationally in the United States Barista Competition. Additionally–though not barista news–another strong showing for them would be like icing on the cake as they were recently named the 2008 Roast Magazine [Macro] Roaster of the Year. [...]
