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: Beans are dark in color and have a good sheen to them. Almost as dark as a French roast. Strong Aroma, balanced flavor. Not as strong as French Mocha but Stronger than Peter's Blend. Definitely would order again.
Price of coffee: They have weekly specials. Cafe Blend 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.
