PT’s was born in 1993 in Topeka, KS out of Jeff Taylor and Fred Polzin’s simple desire for an excellent cup of coffee. Four years and two retail locations later, they began roasting and traveling to origin, forging the Direct Trade partnerships that have made PT’s a leader in the specialty coffee industry. Nearly 80% of PT’s coffee is acquired through their Direct Trade program. Exceptional coffee depends upon great partnerships, and PT's partners are selected for more than their harvests—they are socially responsible and environmentally conscious.
