Perk up: Our coffee and teas

Four incredible attributes

At PCC, our entire selection of fragrant coffee beans — including the beans used in our espresso bars — is organic, shade-grown, fairly traded and locally roasted.

This means our delicious coffee is grown without pesticides, beneath the canopy of trees that provide habitat for migratory birds and roasted within the Northwest for maximum freshness. Each piping hot espresso or bag of beans you take home helps provide a living wage to the farmers who grow our beans. Through our relationships with third party certifiers, we ensure farmers are paid fair prices. Read our Grocery Merchandiser's notes from Peru for a behind-the-scenes look at fair trade coffee.

Delicious, eco-friendly coffee

You'll find a broad variety on our shelves and in our bulk department from both local roasters and leaders in the fair-trade movement, including Equal Exchange, Caffe Ladro, Nature's Crest, Kalani Organica and Tony's Coffee & Teas. For those searching for a coffee alternative, we offer Teeccino, a caffeine-free, herbal beverage of ground and roasted herbs, grains, fruits and nuts. PCC espresso bars offer organic milk and milk alternatives. Learn more about our quality standards.
