Note for existing customers: the 2lb and 5lb bags of Fair Trade Dark Blend - both Whole Bean and Ground - have been discontinued. We apologize for any inconvenience, and recommend viewing all of our organic dark roast coffees.
I have a subscription for this coffee and look forward to receiving it every few weeks. Good flavor and I love how it comes in a metal can that can be recycled easily. Standard coffee bags are not recyclable and must be thrown away, so I've moved away from those. One of the few good tasting coffees that is not only organic and fair trade, but comes in a recyclable package!
