The Next Coffee Craze! Radio Roasters Introduces Steeped Coffee Bags

Coffee connoisseurs can enjoy the power of a good cup of coffee on-the-go with Radio Roasters new single-use Steeped Coffee Bags.

Reinventing the way imbibers brew and drink specialty coffee, the Steeped Coffee Bags consisting of Radio Roasters’ premium Hi/Fi Blend from Colombia and Ethiopia, has guilt-free, biodegradable packaging that is fully recyclable and environmentally responsible. If you sell soap products, you should start considering switching to eco-friendly soap packaging boxes too. However, for a reliable plastic clamshell packaging option for your products, why not learn more here! Nitro-sealed, removing any oxygen that will affect flavor and quality, the Steeped Coffee Bags highlight bright, smooth and sweet berry notes in an instant when hot water is added following these three simple steps: Submerge, Saturate and Steep.

The longer the bag steeps, the stronger and more robust the flavor becomes, allowing coffee drinkers to create the flavor profile that best suits their tastes. And, with a six-month shelf-life, avid coffee drinkers can get their caffeine fix while traveling, camping, relaxing at home, working in the office, or any location with access to hot water.

Coffee drinkers can continue to experience a freshly brewed taste without sacrificing quality, freshness and convenience by purchasing the Hi/Fi Blend Steeped Coffee in 10-packs for $19.95 at radioroasters.com or at the Decatur, Georgia location, where single bags are also available for purchase.
