Limoneira International, a division of Limoneira Company, announced it will open its first Limoneira Coffee Company retail outlet in February 2005 in Santa Paula, California. Limoneira International began distributing its coffee brand, known as Guará Arabica premium coffee, in 2004 to multiple retail, wholesale and food service channels.
Santa Paula, CA (PRWEB) December 10, 2004 -- Limoneira International, a
division of Limoneira Company, announced it will open its first Limoneira Coffee
Company retail outlet in February 2005 in Santa Paula, California.
Limoneira International, established in 2002, is the exclusive worldwide
distributor of Guará Arabica premium coffee grown by Jogil Agropecuaria in the
Jequitinhonha Valley in Minas Gerais, Brazil. As a single-source supplier, the
entire coffee process, from seed to cup, takes place at Jogil’s more than
2,000-acre coffee plantation within its 40,000-acre farm. Coffee beans are
harvested, dried and roasted under the supervision of Jogil owners José Olyntho
Oliveira and his sons.
“The Oliveira family takes great care in ensuring
that each bag of Guará coffee contains beans that are consistent in size,
quality, color and are rich in flavor,” says Bill Allen of Limoneira
International. Limoneira International began marketing its coffee under the
Guará name in 2004 to multiple retail, wholesale and food service channels.
“A natural outgrowth of our distribution efforts is to create
company-owned and franchised retail coffee houses,” says Allen. “Brazil grows
some of the best coffee in the world. Our coffee houses are designed to reflect
the look and feel of the country. When customers step into Limoneira Coffee
Company, they’ll know they are about to enjoy a great Brazilian coffee drinking
experience.”
Besides serving and selling only Guará coffee brand
products, the stores will also feature a full coffee house menu including hot
and iced coffee drinks, gourmet teas, desserts, baked goods, bags of whole bean
coffee and gift packs. The Santa Paula location will be a wireless Internet hot
spot where customers can access the Internet from their wireless laptops or
through the coffee house’s own bank of computers.

and franchise information, contact Bill Allen at 805-421-1013, e-mail protected
