United StatesAmazing Coffee/Amazing Company
I had this company while dining in Lewes, DE, at the fabulous restaurant Heirloom. The coffee was so good that I knew I had to order some right away. That same week Todd Carmichael, La Colombe co-founder, offered to pay off the $22K+ school lunch debt in a local school district. What is not to like about this coffee and this company?
United Statesgreat breakfast coffee!
I look forward to every cup and the taste & aroma is just like the first time, every time! There's no way to get tired of this beautiful light, crisp brew :-)
YIRGZ
My love of Central American coffee has been toppled by Ethiopian Yirgz. I now believe the taste of coffee is result of its soil. What do you think?
Cup of Goodness
Just a great, smooth cup of coffee with a hint of citric brightness. Beans from this region are my fav. This is an excellent example of why.
Yummy
The Ethiopian is just as smooth as the first coffee we received!
