It was with some trepidation that I purchased, after a lengthy search, a coffee online with which I was utterly unfamiliar. The overwhelmingly positive reviews got me to give this brand a try. I purchased Brazil dark roast.
What compelled me to search online was that Trader Joe's discontinued its fine low acid dark roast. I'm one of those folks who loves twice daily coffee, but whose tummy can't tolerate the acid. I join other reviewers in my praise of Coffeeland's product. The whole beans arrived fresh and perfectly roasted. While I'm not a wine snob, I'll agree with the more discriminating reviewers' near poetic descriptions of "cherry" and "nutty," etc. Flavors are deep and nuanced, with a slight sweet aftertaste, in contrast with the slightly bitter aftertaste some coffees leave. I have experienced no gastric reaction to acid., a true plus for me.
I do find this coffee packs a bit of a punch caffeine-wise - which is fine. But you, like myself, might want to reduce slightly the amount per cup, or you might find yourself with a bit of a hand tremble!
Finally, I concur with others that the price makes this fine coffee a real bargain. I heartily recommend Coffeeland's product. I like it so much that I purchased two more pounds.
