Where it starts

New York, November 1913

The record of the YUBAN trademark begins with Arbuckle Brothers, a New York firm at Old Slip and Water Street. They filed the name for coffee on November 17, 1913, and the trademark office registered it on April 7, 1914.

Across the Yuban range the cans still tell the reason for the blend in one line: it was first made more than 100 years ago for special occasions with family and friends.
