Coffee Bean Direct Organic Fair Trade Mexican Chiapas, Whole Bean Coffee, Arabica, Light Roast, 5 lb Bag

This is my goto flavor. I am not fond of strong coffees.

First of all, I was psyched to see Chiapas Coffee on sale, period. I was blessed and lucky enough to spend a good bit of time exploring both the highland mountains and lowland jungles of that fascinating region of Mexico some years ago, and, just as happened during my similar explorations of Sumatra (from Padang to the Bukittinggi and Karo Highlands), some of the most indelible memories and experiences along the way were related to the ever-present, ever-delicious and always aromatic life-sustaining local coffee. It's truly something that can inspire the most insistent cravings and stoke the most persistent fires of nostalgia, no matter the time or distance... I got to enjoy Sulawesi, Java, and Bali (went 3 times!) coffee, too, and still savor them often, but I went for a couple of decades without having access to that particular Chiapas flavor...until I came across Coffee Bean Direst. Unlike the case with Sumatra Coffee, which can usually be quite reliable even from a wide variety of sources, I have not come across many commercially available versions of Chiapas coffee that don't inevitably disappoint me by failing to give me that same intoxicating walnutty aroma, same velvety mouthfeel, same incredible rocket-like BUZZ that I remember from my time there. As soon as the 5-lb bag arrived today, I impressed a very picky and discerning friend with a strong mug of it. How grateful I am to get my hands on this! Now that I know how quickly and reasonably-priced I can get The Good Stuff, I'll be sure to get my Indonesian beans from CBD, too! Thanks!
