does anyone know if this coffee is mycotoxin free? or if they use the "wet process" of roasting? is it shade grown? Thanks!

Hi Kristy, I apologize for the delayed reply, I did not know this question and answer section existed. I could go on and on about how some folks make money by creating a problem out of nowhere, and then charge for the solution, but instead I will refer you to this article: http://authoritynutrition.com/the-mycotoxins-in-coffee-myth/By "wet process" they are referring to how the coffee fruit is processed at origin, not how it is roasted. All of our coffees are wet processed except for some of our Brazils, and they are absolutely some of my favorite coffees! They are both dry processed and "semi-washed," and as a result are extremely rich and complex. We use it in our Signature Blend to add body and what I refer to as richness (some actually consider this harshness, but most self-proclaimed coffee aficionados love it). The Brazil plays very well with the Colombia in the blend, which has a much milder body character but is sweet, and the Guatemala has considerable depth of flavor, but is very smooth. The Guatemala is shade grown, and our farms in Colombia are Rainforest Certified. All of our other coffees either are or they are not shade grown. We source based on quality first, and _usually_ that criteria automatically includes environmental responsibility (if it doesn't then we address that through our Sharing Certified program). Besides being environmentally friendly, when you grow coffee in the shade, it deprives the plant of sunlight, and the beans take longer to mature. The longer they take, the denser they are, and there is a lot of flavor in that density. Guatemala and Honduras do this best, and the soil in those countries is full of sulfur from the volcanoes, and coffee plants love sulfur, so it's an ideal environmnet. All of our coffees, whether wet or dry processed are roasted for around 20 minutes at temperatures above 400 degrees, then we pack immediately into a high moisture barrier bag. We roast to order, and don't require large minimum orders from our customers. We ship to Amazon every two weeks, so the coffee is super fresh always. I should add that we roast in multiple small batch roasters, and because of this we do not have to "quench" the coffee to cool it, like many/most other bigger brand roasters. When big brand roasters, roast in 2,000 - 5,000 LB batches, water is sprayed on the roasted coffee beans to cool it, so it doesn't continue to roast (and burn) in it's own heat. I actually spoke to an engineer once who retired from a big brand roaster, who said he designed their system to add an ounce of water weight to each can, so they could increase their margins. This was back when they were packing in cans, and he said you could see a ring of rust around the top inside of the can. We would never compromise quality or Food Safety for added profit, and we want only to provide the freshest, best tasting coffee possible to our loyal customers.Hope this helps! Thanks so much for your interest!Darron "Don Pablo" Burke

I bought a 2 lb bag of your coffee but was not vacuum sealed. Air passes freely in and out of the plastic valve, why is that? Does it affect flavor?

Hi PetarB, thanks for your purchase! Fresh roasted coffee requires a degassing valve that allows the naturally occouring CO2 to escape the bag, while not letting any oxygen in. We roast to order, in multiple small batch roasters, and fill the bags immediately after roasting, so if we didn't use a degassing valve, the bags would puff up and possibly rupture.Coffee that is packed without a degassing valve must sit for several days before being packed, and a "Nitrogen Flush" is often used to keep the packaging from "exploding." This type of coffee is usually very inexpensive, is produced in large volume, and is meant to sit in warehouses, distribution centers, and store shelves for a very long time (months and even years).Hope this helps. Thanks again for your purchase, we really appreciate the support.Darron "Don Pablo" Burke

Is this coffee bean free from mold toxic?

Hello Skyline, thanks for reaching out. Yes, all of our coffees are mycotoxin free. Thanks for your interest.Darron "Don Pablo" Burke

Is there a way to find out how much caffine it has in it?

Hi Charyl, thanks for reaching out! That's a little tricky to answer, as caffeine levels vary depending on the bean used (Arabica vs. Robusta), level of roast, and your preparation. We use only 100% Arabica, and roast most of our coffees to medium-dark, so you get a lift, without getting nervous or jittery, and no upset stomach. Coffees with higher levels of caffeine are either a lower quality Robusta bean, a significantly lighter roasted Arabica, or caffeine has been artificially added to an unnatural level. On another note, some people mistakenly equate bitterness (usually from dark roasted coffee) to strength (caffeine level), when in fact a darker roasted coffee has less caffeine (unless it has been artificially added). Hope this helps! Thanks for your interest in our coffee! Darron "Don Pablo" Burke

I forget exactly which one it was but the flavor and brew tasted perfect. It might have been the Ghirardelli brand and ...

A few years ago I had received a few small bags of ground coffee that go on sale during the holidays. I forget exactly which one it was but the flavor and brew tasted perfect. It might have been the Ghirardelli brand and It was the best cups of coffee I've ever had. I own a Keurig and enjoy Starbucks coffee but this holiday pack of coffee seriously tasted the best. It was creamy, robust, and not bitter at all. With that said, Keurig and Starbucks brew excellent coffee but nothing compared to that once in a lifetime cheap gift bag. I have no idea why that coffee tasted amazing. All I can think of is the combination of beans, roast, grind, freshness, hint of chocolate and brew that made it the most enjoyable cup of coffee. Perhaps it was partially my morning breath or the amount of chemicals in the water that day, who knows. Anyway, onto the review of this organic coffee... I just got done drinking an entire pot of this stuff that was brewed in my percolator brewer, Texsport 9 Cup Stainless Steel Percolator Coffee Maker for Outdoor Camping and the coffee tasted fantastic! It reminded me of that once in a lifetime cheap gift bag coffee. I'm so thrilled since this coffee has become the best tasting coffee I've ever had. The reason I ordered this 2lb bag is because I want to save the Kcups for the weekday convenience and brew this on the weekends. My wife and I drink way too many Kcups during the week and need to come up with a new plan for our massive coffee consumption. During the weekend I end up drinking several Kcups and wanted to start brewing pots again which is the primary reason for the percolator. # Pros - Medium-dark was exactly as I expected. I like bold coffee but not burnt tasting like Starbucks and not weak like McD's. - Beautiful beans. Grabbed a handful for inspection prior to shoving them into the manual grinder. - By far the best tasting coffee brewed in my percolator. - Organic and I like what they are doing. - Best quality for the price. - Rich and creamy bold flavors, hint of chocolate. Not bitter or sour tasting. # Cons - None. With the pros and cons out of the way, I would like to mention; I'm no "coffee connoisseur" and don't pretend that I'm an expert in taste testing coffee. I simply enjoy drinking coffee. I remember that gift bag coffee being one of the best I've ever brewed. Sure I have a problem and need to have my morning coffee, my afternoon coffee, and evening coffee... I'm a software developer by trade and I drink a lot of coffee. The best coffee is the one that you remember and sure it could be McD's, Tim Hortons, etc... I've consumed a lot of coffee from numerous coffee shops here and have not experienced the "wow" moment like I did with that cheap gift bag coffee and I did with this. I have brewed so many different K-cups and the brands I enjoy the most are the Newman's Own and San Francisco Bay Fog Chaser. If you enjoy those brands, I recommend this coffee but please note, this coffee does not taste like the brands mentioned. For those wondering about brewing this in a percolator... I ground the coffee beans in a manual grinder - Most Consistent Hand Coffee Grinder & Coffee Press - Ceramic Burr Manual Coffee Grinder fits in Aeropress - set on a course grind setting (kosher salt). I use the water from my RO system. 1 heaping table spoon of grinds per cup. Watched the glass viewer on the percolator get to the right color. Pour and enjoy.

Great tasting coffee. Recommended

Great tasting coffee. Love reading about the quality and lack of chemicals and insects as ingredients. Many other cheap coffees have some frightening ingredients which might cause long term health issues. Using the whole bean coffee allows personalization for how strong you like your coffee. It is also much fresher when grinding the beans yourself.

Smooth Coffee

Not bad. On the light-medium side but I use more grounds for a bolder stronger brew. Not harsh or bitter.

Smooth, rich, enjoyable

First impressions, when I open the bag, of course you greeted with that wonderful coffee smell and also some very dark oily beans. Yum. I thought my less than top of the line burr grinder might have an issue with it, but as it turned out, it did not. If your weapon of choice is a blade grinder, I assume you’ll have the same level of success. Overall, a very pleasant and smooth cup of coffee and I like the fact that it is low acid as well. In order to avoid any hint of sourness, you might want to add a bit more coffee (or a bit less water) – unless you like your coffee light in which case you can ignore that advice. Overall, I would highly recommend this.

Great bean, our go to!

We enjoy this coffee and have subscribed for it. I like the organic nature of fair trade and possible supporting indigenous people. Hopefully that’s true and this company isn't using a front, because this is really good coffee and the price is reasonable . So give it a try, you won’t be sorry.
