PARSIPPANY, New Jersey -- Corporate Essentials announced today that they have been selected by Stumptown Coffee as an official office coffee partner for traditional whole bean coffee and cold brew in the New York City market.
Stumptown will now become a featured coffee in the longtime office refreshment leader’s portfolio of premium coffee brands.
“Stumptown is more than just another brand in the coffee world,” said Joe Simonovich, Chief Growth Officer at Corporate Essentials. “Stumptown was the first major player in the third-wave-coffee movement we have seen take over the coffee world.”
Since being founded in Portland, Oregon in 1999, Stumptown has often been recognized for revolutionizing the coffee world through its sustainable business practices and high standards of quality.
The Stumptown way of doing business will also be reflected in the whole bean Stumptown office coffee offering available through Corporate Essentials. With a focus on their blended coffee favorites like Hair Bender, Holler Mountain, Organic French Roast and House Blend as well as seasonal, regional blends from coffee-producing regions throughout the world, Stumptown will create a premium traditionally-brewed coffee offering that is able to appeal to just about everyone in every office.
"We're obsessed with offering the highest quality coffee and cold brew,” said Heather Kelley, Head of Distributor Sales and Specialty Accounts at Stumptown Coffee Roasters. “We continually invest in our relationships and processes starting with our coffee farmers at origin, and continuing through with meticulous care to our friends drinking coffee in their offices."
In addition to the new traditionally brewed coffee offerings from Stumptown, Corporate Essentials will also be offering their world-renowned cold brew coffee in both kegs and grab & go, single-serve formats.
“We’re in the process of adding an additional 2,000 square feet to our cold-storage capacity in our warehouse, and we did that to be able to forge relationships like this one with Stumptown,” said Simonovich. “There is definitely something extra special about being able to now feature Stumptown as part of our on-tap offering.”
Stumptown has long been a leader when it comes to cold brew coffee. Whether in a keg, their famous stubby glass bottles, milk cartons blended with milk or their more-recent canned offerings; the name Stumptown is almost synonymous with quality cold brew coffee.
Corporate Essentials will offer Stumptown cold brew coffee in kegs as well as their stubby bottles and new sparkling cold brew sodas.
“While our cold brew kegs have always been popular in the office environment, we think our other cold brew products can quickly become office favorites,” said Kelley. “The sparkling cold brew sodas are something that once you try, you can quickly become hooked.”
Stumptown has had a strong New York City presence for years since opening its Red Hook Brooklyn roasting facility in the early 2000’s. Stumptown also maintains two NYC retail locations in the Ace Hotel and a standalone location on West 8th Street in Greenwich Village.
