Fort Worth, TX, May 10, 2017 (Newswire.com) - Farmer Bros. Co. (NASDAQ: FARM) (“Farmer Brothers” or the “Company”), a national coffee roaster, wholesaler and distributor of coffee, tea and culinary products, announced the release of its new Artisan Collection Cold Brew Filter Packs. 

Launched in time for the Summer selling season, Artisan Collection Cold Brew Filter Packs give operators an easy-to-use method to meet growing consumer demand for a specialty coffee cold brew. The packs feature innovative, vacuum-sealed packaging that eliminates the mess of standard cold-brew preparation methods.
