I worked in the coffee industry for a decade and it was always a pleasure to serve this coffee.
It is bold without being bitter and holds up especially well as an espresso or cold brew. I served it alongside higher end third wave coffees here in NYC and it was comparable in quality and flavor. For roughly the same price as buying coffee in the US, you can get coffee that directly benefits the community it comes from. Buying in bulk is especially economical, with a 5lb bag plus shipping coming out to <$15 a pound. I can not recommend it enough.
Also comrades, the rest of the site has some great items for sale as well. Check them out here!
Thanks for taking the time to read this post. If you got this far please give it an 🆙🐻to give others a chance to see it and I hope your next cup of coffee is served black and red :left-unity-3:

Radddd! Do you find that with a 5lb bag that they stay fresh enough? I usually get through a 1lb bag in 2-3 weeks as I'm not a heavy coffee drinker
Definitely. Because the coffee is roasted pretty close to its shipping date it I’ve actually gotten it BEFORE its ideal freshness window which happens normally between 3ish days-2 weeks after roasting. (some helpful info about coffee freshness here)
I also normally brew it as espresso which makes it very obvious if it’s gone past peak freshness and it’s been fine for like a month and a half after I’ve gotten it. If you’re doing pot coffee, pour over, or French press you’ll easily be good for that long and probably a fair bit longer as well. I’ve made leftovers into cold brew three months after (properly storing it in a cool, dark, airtight container) and it tasted great still.
That's awesome, thanks for the detailed response. Looks like I'm cancelling my bougie coffee subscription service and using that money to fund some comrades instead!
Well done comrade
