    Great coffee, great flavors

    Trying these coffee flavors for the 1st time was impressive. I went through and ordered different roasts and flavors to see which I would like best and it ended up being hard to decide which one I liked best.

    High quality beans, pricey

    Good evenly roasted beans and nice quality flavor for medium dark bean. The price of coffee beans has skyrocketed so for the price, a bit expensive.
