The company: Porto Rico Importers based in NYC. Been in business a long time. Offer wide variety of beans cheaply. Also sells a wide selection of tea. Has weekly specials on coffee. Has internet, phone, and fax ordering options. Not a huge operation with an amazon type polish to it. Internet ordering is basically a secured email, not a cart system. Ordering was easy enough, no acknowledgement. Email sent back with final order total within 36 hours.
The coffee: Traditional French roast. Not much else to say. Beans are very oily and have a nice sheen to them. Dark color but not as dark as some french roasts which can look like coal at times. Strong Aroma. Nice strong balanced brew. Would definitely order again.
Price of coffee: They have weekly specials. French Mocha runs $3.99/pound on sale. Regular price varies but is often 5.99/lb.
Shipping: $7.28 to ship 3 pounds. $7.58 to ship 5 pounds. Uses UPS ground. Took 5 Business days - ordered during their Spring sale and they warn that it can take up to 2 weeks.
Packaging: Shipped in a box with biodegradable packing peanuts (no chemical fumes which is a plus). Bagged in plastic lined paper bags- not vacuum packed.
