I only recently (about 5-6 years ago) got into coffee, I grew up drinking tea, lots of tea, and still do. Until then, I used to, very occasionally, drink the usual instant coffee. I did have one experience of drinking Jamaican Blue Mountain, which I loved, but the price....! I wanted to make sure tha
t I knew how to brew a good cup, and I found that I preferred the French press method of brewing. I have been looking for a light roast coffee, so far all I have found in the shops here (I live on a small island in the Caribbean), are medium roast. I also wanted a coffee that was not too acidic, normally you can counter that with milk or cream, but I prefer my coffee black. I read the reviews here and I checked online, and found that this brand, was quite well rated. The bonus' were that it was Non-GMO (very good), organic (also very good) and 100% Arabica beans (really very good). The light roast meant that it would have more caffeine than any of the other roasts. I drink one tumbler (RTIC 40oz) of coffee a day, in the mornings. This helps with any hunger pangs (coffee helps on the keto diet that I'm on), and the 40oz tumbler means that it takes me easily 3-5 hours to drink the whole thing, since I don't like to gulp everything down in a few minutes. I have settled on using 50g for my tumbler, with 1 sugar (and 2 sachets of Stevia). I really like that every time I open the bag I get a strong smell of coffee. With so many other brands, that smell is gone in a couple of days. The coffee is really not acidic, something I am really happy about, and yes it still keeps a smooth taste over the few hours it takes for me to drink it. I am quite surprised how much I like this coffee, and I am working my way to dropping the sugar and Stevia so I can just get the pure taste of the bean. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone, especially if they are just getting into coffee. Edit/Update Still drinking this coffee. But now that I don't use sugar, just Stevia, it tastes better. I'm getting more of the coffee taste without the sharp sweetness of the sugar. 2nd Edit/Update It's September 2020, and another bag is on its way to me. This is the coffee for me. Whether hot or cold (iced coffee), this is the coffee I prefer. (cheesy, but true).
