RALPHIE’S ROAST PREMIUM COFFEE
A special blend for the University of Colorado. The perfect combination of Peruvian and Burundi coffee beans.
We can’t grow great coffee in Colorado so we picked great beans from the high altitude of the Andes mountains, running right through Central Peru because thats the optimal growing conditions for arabica coffee plants.
Burundi is a small and very hilly and mountainous country between East Africa and Central Africa. A fine Burundi single origin coffee exhibits a clean, delicate flavor with a rich body and acidity according to cupping notes.
Peru and Burundi together provide a great taste and aroma that you’ll enjoy cup after cup.

Earth Friendly Packaging
We seek the highest grade packaging for our coffee that keeps the coffee fresh without harming our planet. Our package uses a packaging material composed of multiple, laminated layers. The outer layers consist of cellulose from wood pulp. The materials make up 60% of the material by weight and have been shown to break down into healthy compost in 12 weeks when tested according to a test method called ASTM D6400.
The interior layer is made with an additive that makes it “oxo-degrade”. This additive has been shown to allow plastic to break into microscopic pieces under specific conditions over 5-10 years vs. the estimated 1,000 years needed for normal plastic.
The interior layer consists of 100% plant-based, renewable resources, i.e. sugar cane. This is a non-biodegradable layer made from renewable resources.
All labels are also eco-friendly using hemp vellum and soy based inks.
Even our special coffee pods (K-CUP® compatible) are fully recyclable and compostable. Read About It Here
