    Smooth tasting, not harsh like StarBucks and Organic to boot.

    Not a single issue so they get 5 star and 2 thumbs up! My wife is not a coffee drinker but says this is good stuff. StarBucks and the like are just too harsh. This stuff is smooth.

    When dreaming of coffee, this is the one that is desired...

    This is our favorite medium roast organic coffee, particularly for consumption with breakfast. Charleston Coffee has a great taste and smell, and it's very smooth - no bitterness and its acidity doesn't hurt the stomach or GI tract.

    Organic, smooth, no bitterness. The best!

    I am obsessed with this coffee. I’ve legitimately never enjoyed coffee before I found this specific one. Organic and smooth with zero bitterness. I use it to make my cold brew and everyone that tries it loves it. Been a consistent buyer for several years now.
