Try it, you wonât be disappointed!
Let me start by saying that I am a coffee snob. I am picky and look for many things. Plus one: Beans arrived in quality packing that is environmentally friendly. Plus two: beans smelled super fresh and were nice and oily when package was opened. Plus three: coffee was full of wonderful flavor and aroma when brewed. Plus four: came with a little note and feel good story about the good works they do. I highly recommend and will buy this coffee exclusively going forward.

Good product, bad Amazon delivery
Updated: The product was delivered to the wrong house, Amazon’s fault, not the company’s. 1 star removed for bad delivery for an otherwise fantastic product.

Disappointed
I was really looking forward to try this coffee upon reading the positive reviews I decided to give it a try. It arrived on time from Amazon, packing was nice, however while I opened the bag there was no smell of coffee whatsoever, don’t know why couldn’t be way past their freshness! So I grind and try to pull an espresso (profitec 600). Unfortunately there was no crema nor the smell of fresh brewed coffee, the taste was off, don’t know why, the beans look great but the doesn’t taste good ð©

Excellent value and environmentally conscious company.
This coffee has very good flavor, it’s a good value, and it’s Fair Trade which is very important to me. Plus the large size means I don’t have to order so often, saving cardboard. Yeah, you can tell I’m a green freak!

You get what you pay for in coffee beans, and these seem good!
Had high hopes for this coffee based on the 4 five star reviews. What I got was a bag of coffee beans that looked really good, not dried out yet a little oily. Then I ground them an brewed a cup using the drip method. What I got was a brew that had a taste of muskiness to it. Best I can relate is it tasted like I had cleaned the cup with Pinesol and had not rinsed it out before brewing the coffee. Unfortunately, the cup was clean, and after at least a dozen other attempts, each brewing still had a off putting chemical taste to them. Just threw away the beans and ordered a more expensive brand I have used for years. Moral of the story is that you do get what you pay for. I recommend you steer clear of this one!My apologies, the strange taste was still present when I used the new coffee, and I found that the culprit was the creamer I was using. The stuff comes in a giant size and regular size and I had been refilling the small one with the large for months. Should have cleaned out the bottle before refilling. When I smelled it today, it was the strange smell I thought was from the coffee. So, giving the coffee the 5 star rating based on the quality of the beans.

Smooth medium roast coffee
I was a bit nervous to commit to a 5 pound bag of coffee without trying a smaller bit first, but I also wanted to spend a little less by buying it in bulk. Luckily, Iâm really enjoying the organic Ethiopian roast! I perceive it as more of a medium roast with a little lean towards dark, but it ends up brewing really smooth coffee without being thin on flavor. Everything was packaged well, and it hits a good price point for organic fair-trade coffee. I would happily purchase this again, glad I took the risk!

Good coffee for espresso, grinds well
It’s hard to find beans that grind well for espresso. Luckily this worked well for us and instead of buying illy, we’re getting fair trade/ organic/ and hopefully making a positive impact on the world.

Great coffee and a wonderful cause
Have ordered this coffee several times. Love that it’s organic and that their profits are helping orphans and vulnerable children.
