The nuts from the cones of the piñon tree have been a crunchy snack and protein source for the people of the Southwest for generations. In the early 1990's, New Mexico Piñon Coffee Company of Albuquerque became the first commercial operation to successfully combine piñon nuts with medium roast coffee during the roasting process. Now their coffee is one of the top-selling New Mexico food products.
Their Texas Pinon Coffee starts with a blend of the very best high altitude Arabica beans from Latin America, roasted to a gorgeous medium-dark roast, and then piñon from the Southwest and a hint of cinnamon are added for a robust yet very smooth taste, great for that wake-up cup of coffee in the morning.
