Coffee Deals Bring New Beans and Benefits
By Dave Jones
UC Davis announced today (April 25) it has two new coffee supply contracts that, besides putting new java brands in our cups and mugs, will support our students and academics in a big way.
Peet's and Java CityUnder the eight-year-long agreements, the Davis and Sacramento campuses will buy coffee beans — around 32,000 pounds annually — from Peet’s and Java City. In return, the companies will contribute more than $1 million for scholarships and internships, service opportunities at home and abroad, and additional funding for the UC Davis Coffee Center — none of which the university was getting under existing contracts — as well as equipment and service for campus coffee operations.
