Change is in the air here at Peerless Coffee & Tea Company as we celebrate our
80th Anniversary. We have a brand new logo created just for us by a top
graphic designer. This gorgeous image calls to mind our unique Bay Area
history, depicting the arrival of a ship into the Port of Oakland
carrying coffee beans from around the world.
To go along with our new look, George Vukasin, Jr., has created a special
80th Anniversary coffee blend just for you. By selecting and combining
organic beans from four award winning estates in Mexico, Peru, Sumatra
and Ethiopia and by bringing them to Italian roasted perfection we have
created a wonderful medium dark roast with a medium light body that is
already a hit in our retail store.
To fully appreciate just what it means to run a successful business for
80 years, one must gain a sense of the passage of time. I have
spent years gathering together an extensive collection of rare coffee and
tea memorabilia and house them in our very own Peerless Museum. On a
visit to the museum, you will take a trip down memory lane while perusing
shelf after shelf of old fashioned coffee grinders, tins and tea bins from
the 80 years that Peerless has been in business. You will also learn
something of the Vukasin family history, and how John Vukasin's dream of
providing perfectly roasted coffee beans to Bay Area business has become
a reality. Also, not to be missed, the crown jewel of the Museum's collection:
Our very own 1922 Model T Ford Depot Hack, a lovingly restored antique that
serves as a continuing reminder of the Peerless Coffee Company & Tea heritage.
