Brands

A working index of brands produced or sold by the Hoffmann-Hayman Coffee Company—the house H and H labels alongside the independent brands carried forward from firms the company absorbed. William R. Hoffmann first roasted and sold coffee in San Antonio in 1899; after the 1912 merger with Merchants Coffee the firm became Hoffmann-Hayman, and over the following decades the product line grew to cover house blends, premium tins, instant coffee, spices, tea, cocoa, and extracts.

Many of the lower-tier coffees below (marked with ¹) came in with the February 1917 acquisition of Morrison Coffee Co. of San Antonio. For the corporate lineage behind these labels see Related Companies; for narrative context see History.
