    Coffee... it's a very personal experience. What I may like, you may not... and vice versa. THIS one though, wow. I've never been a big believer in organics. I understand the idea behind organics and its sound, but I didn't really believe that organic anything was better tasting than scientifically grown produce...

    Best coffee I have ever tasted

    Excellent dark roast coffee. It is organic and seems very low acid. The flavor is rich, robust, smooth, and complex. I will definitely order again.

    Outstanding coffee at a fair price

    This is outstanding coffee for the price. I haven’t found anything better in this price range. Ordered it several times and the beans are always fresh. Bags always have a date on them which I love. I get the 2lb Cubano roast and use it in a french press. It’s a dark roast but not too dark, it has a rich smooth taste.

    Delicious Coffee, Great price. What's not to like?

    We started exploring this variant with a 12 oz bag...liked it so much we bought the 2 pounder. We'd previously had the Mayorga seasonal blend as a point of reference (so sad it's not available all year) so we thought we'd try this. This is definitely in the tp-five blends we like. We're Dark Roast fans.
