 Very good coffee November 11, 2008
All three varieties are very good. We had friends over and served the Columbian and they raved over it. I like the Sumatran best. This variety pack gives a nice sampling for all tastes.
 Great tasting coffee September 8, 2008
I drink the Sumatra at church every Sunday. What I like about it is that it does not taste burned like Starbucks beans taste, but the roast is dark. I highly recommend it, especially since this coffee is sold to help people and not make profit... missionaries developed the product and program.
shade grown coffee with conscience October 16, 2007
I like mild and smooth coffee and the Ethiopian coffee has been great. Haven't gotten to the other bags yet, but my first experience with Pura Vida coffee from Central America was also very good. Shade grown coffee is more environmentally safe and fair trade organizations try to make sure the coffee workers are getting a living wage for the work they do. Makes my morning cups of coffee taste that much better knowing the big companies didn't make the profit......the little guys with families to support did.
Really enjoyed the Cafe Kilmanjaro July 24, 2007
Liked all three of the coffees...But the Kilimanjaro was my favorite.
Bold, darkly roasted without the bitterness that you so often get from other over roasted coffees.
Unlike a previous review...I thought the coffee was fresh and very aromatic.
 Below Average Cofee, over roasted and stale June 10, 2007
7 out of 15 found this review helpful
Maybe because I ususally get coffee fresh roasted and consume it immediately, but I really didn't care for this coffee.
I found them to be very pedestrian over roasted for the type of beans they were. Any nuances in the Ethiopia and Sumatra were destroyed by the roaster who insisted on using a Dark French roast for these subtle beans. The result is a coffee devoid of the sweet fruit and chocolate undertones one would expect from a shade grown bean.
They also lacked a lot of flavor because I believe that these beans were out of their prime. Even if you have beans in a cryo pack like these came in, the optimum time for consuming roasted whole bean coffee is 2-3 weeks maximum. These tasted more like 2-3 months!
I was not impressed with this coffee for those reasons and would not buy them again.
