Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 9, 2023

I payed money not for coffee but for an experience or, to satiate the senseless covid ruminations, a hobby. The bag seemed fine with its minimalistic intentions but could do some updating. There’s a lot of unnecessary text that can’t be entirely removed or replace with a hyperbole that your coffee makes horses kick or something of the sort that will make it more probable that the consumer will memorize your brand name and share it in a conversation. But as my scissors cut through that plastic the aromas I’d these coffee were enjoyed throughly. I wanted to make a candle out of it since the smell mattered to me so much. Start grinding and your hit once again with an orgy of different smells which exacerbates the impatience of waiting until the coffee is done and cool. And as I drank the first cup I immediately knew I liked it. I didn’t know why but I knew this was some good coffee and continued to drink it until it finally induced me to make this review.
I have been trying to deduce what exactly of this coffee do I like? So I go drinking multiples cups disregarding time which led me to succumb to herbal ;)teas to treat my insomnia. Until finally one day, this day, right know, I knew why i liked this coffee. It was the taste. It took long hours trying to decipher what in the hell this coffee tasted like. What tastes like coffee? But it was darn good. Until it hit me. It tastes exactly how it smells. Plus its smooth as butter. That’s it. That’s a covid epiphany.

We have several coffee drinkers in the house with varying preferences, so we always have quite a few different brands on stock. Having purchased just the 10 oz bag to try it out, everyone was certainly satisfied with it, but I wasn't sure it was worth the price. As a test one morning, I used the "Kicking Horse" for the first pot and cheaper (but still decent IMO) Amazon-brand Columbian blend in the second pot, and I asked two of the other coffee drinkers in the house if they could tell the difference... They couldn't. Not exactly a scientific test, but reinforced my opinion. It's good, but not mind-blowing.
At $30 for a 2.2 lb bag which isn't that bad, there are plenty of other options in the $12-$20 range that I personally think are just as good, or even prefer. I'd buy again for sure if it's on sale, but my experience with it was that it's not worth a premium price tag. All that said, the price isn't crazy, and it did brew a good cup of coffee, so I'll give it 4* and wouldn't dissuade anyone from buying.
