    Smoothe Ethiopian coffee shop quality

    It’s great coffee! I have organic light-medium roast, and I prefer the medium roast of this brand to it. Very bold and yet smoother, less acidic than light roast, with a Good price. It tastes like coffee shop coffee, and it’s roasted well. Not too dark and not too light.

    Fantastic flavor, decent price.

    In the last several months, I have been introduced to the wonders that are Ethiopian coffee. I have heard from missionaries to Ethiopia that a part of reaching out and loving families in this country is being invited in to a hut and being served some of the best, most amazing coffee one can enjoy.
