Independence Coffee Co. Old New Orleans Crème Brule Flavored Light Roast Whole Bean Coffee, 24 Ounce Bag (Packaging May Vary)

My new favorite coffee.
I’ve gone through many, many different coffees with varying levels of satisfaction. I tried this coffee in pod form first, and was very impressed by it. But as we all know the pods can be pricey, and generate waste (although the pod form of this coffee is compostable.) So I decided to buy a bag of the beans, and to me this tastes even better than the pods. Of course, that is partially because I can ground the beans fresh and have better control over the brewing process. But I must say that the aroma and flavor of this coffee is superb. The flavor is very smooth and not so acidic and bitter as many other coffees I have tried. I guarantee that if you have a good taste for coffee, you will love this. The caffeine content is really good too. A cup or two of this wakes me right up. And lastly, this coffee is roasted in small batches by a small business, and I believe in supporting small businesses, especially when they make a product as fine as this. These beans are roasted in a small town in Brenham, Texas and I think they’ve done a fantastic job with their coffee! I’ve got this set as my coffee subscription now. One thing to note is that while this bag of beans may be slightly more expensive than some value brand coffee, the taste and aroma is unparalleled. You get what you pay for. I encourage anyone to try this great coffee and support this small business and their awesome coffee! I am very happy with this product.

Very tasty and satisfied.
This coffee worked great as got or cold brew. It was mainly used as cold brew. Good quality and quick delivery.

Coffee flavor descriptions are usually “off”
I had been looking for an earthy and bold coffee for quite some time. Where some coffees list “earthy”, I found “sour”. Where some listed “bold”, I found “bitter”. Where some listed “nutty”, I found “tangy”.This coffee and the description given met my expectations in what a bold and earthy coffee should be. “Bold and earthy” to me is smooth, strong flavor, no tangy after taste, and a deep flavor, capable of being dipped on its own or with some cream and sugar.I wasn’t a fan of Jet Fuel as much (has that tangy aftertaste), but Jackhammer is phenomenal. I’d say I wish more coffee could be like this, but this one is special and I want to keep it that way.

it is definitely Pecan flavored, but it has been a while since it got roasted.
The most important thing about buying a whole bean is that you want to buy within a couple of weeks of time of roasting. Because after two weeks later, the flavor starts to decline rapidly.In this coffee bean case, I ordered it wrong, I wanted it regular (without flavored) whole coffee bean, not flavored coffee bean, but due to my mistake, I ordered this Pecan flavored coffee. I could have returned it, but since I opened it already, I did not want to return back which will cost the company. Since it was my own mistake by ordering this, I decided it just to try the coffee.Definitely, it has a lot of pecan flavors, actually too much. The problem of the most of flavored coffee is that those companies tend to use too much flavors to cover up the bad coffee quality and bad roasting.The roasting of this bean wasn’t so bad, actually it was evenly roasted, however, it just seems like this coffee was roasted a quite a while ago. So all I can taste was the pecan flavor and some bitterness underneath.Also, it would help if the company can write the roasted date on the bag.
