callenish gunner Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Do you sell it by the pound? If so, what would the price be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCholeBlack Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 (edited) Do you sell it by the pound? If so, what would the price be? Hugh- I do sell by the pound for $12 plus shipping. However, by the pound coffee is whole bean while these smaller packages are ground (in my reproduction grinder :) ) for those that don't want to or don't have the equipment to grind their own beans.

Rumba Rue Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Curious to know what it tastes like. Is it bitter like Starbucks and other coffee places? Or smooth like a good Columbian type? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCholeBlack Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 Is it bitter like Starbucks and other coffee places? Or smooth like a good Columbian type? Rue- These are single origin Arabica beans, since Robusta beans weren't even classified as a species of coffee until late in the 18th century. The roast is a full city, not bitter but smooth with a mild spice profile of cinnamon & chocolate undertones. There is also a slight smoky scent due to the fire roasting which you simply can not get from commercial coffee. Perhaps the best review of the flavor is from one of my customers who said "The flavor is clean and genuine- very little acidity- rich nutty flavor. It makes Starbucks seem like it must be gooped up with fake flavoring." I frequently have people who aren't even coffee drinkers come back for 2nd & 3rd cups, it's just that good. This offer is going fast, so grab them while you can for holiday delivery! Chole "If part of the goods be plundered by a pirate the proprietor or shipmaster is not entitled to any contribution."

michaelsbagley Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Being another customer of the Widow Black, and a huge fan of her coffee... I am also not a big fan of the burnt flavour of Starbucks... I think you would like her coffee. It was the only thing that kept me going at Paynetown this past summer, and I look forward to the next time I am at the same event as Ms. Black so I can enjoy more of her coffee. So there you have it, a first hand account! Is it bitter like Starbucks and other coffee places? Or smooth like a good Columbian type?

Rumba Rue Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Sounds good, but I tried to order the small amount and was told my credit card wouldn't work - yes I have the $$$. I noticed you prefer PayPal, but since I don't go through them, I guess it's not going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
