Product Description

From the birthplace of coffee comes this Fair Trade and Organic offering. This bean is roasted to the medium level to bring out some of the more delicate flavor characteristics while retaining the soft, flowery aroma of this popular coffee. The subtle fruity taste is enhanced by the darker roast, accompanied by moderate acidity and a balanced body.

This coffee is probably very good if purchased fresh from CBD, but since it must have sat in an Amazon warehouse for who knows how long, it was stale and tasted like vomit. Do yourself a favor, try it with flavor. Go direct.

This is the second five pound bag of whole bean coffee that I have purchased. The first was the Guatemalan. They both had the same problems. The beans seemed dry and the coffee lacked flavor. While the price was good, the coffee tastes worse than a cheap convenience store brand coffee. It is not so bad that I feel the need to throw it out but I expected more. If anyone has any suggestions of a good brand of organic, fair trade coffee in bulk please let me know.

Stuck with it. Gonna have to order something else cus I can't take drinking it anymore.

There's a tag stuck on the bag with the numbers "30911". If it's meant to be a date of some significance then that's clearly a problem because March 9, 2011 was almost 9 months ago.

FWIW this is the second 5 lb. bag of Coffee Bean Direct that I have received from Amazon. The first one was one of the Sumatrans and it was fresh... tasted great
