Organic Camano Island Coffee Roasters Sumatra, Dark Roast, Ground, 5-Pound Bag

Bold,Rich, Aromatic – Shade Grown and Organic – Packaging Needs Improvement

Camano Island Shade grown and organic coffee not only produces a wonderful and flavorful cup of java but saves trees from being chopped down as well. The Sumatra coffee is a real eye-opener, a coffee lovers coffee with a very bold rich taste(dark roast). The aroma alone will get you going in the morning and will be a great afternoon pick-me-up as well. It’s as good if not better the the more expensive designer labels, and this 5lb bag is a truly good buy. Shade Grown/Organic is pretty expensive at my local market.

But what’s up with the packaging. It arrived in a heavy-weight clear plastic bag. Not very environmentally friendly. Also, it is very hard to keep sealed. It has one of those cheap sticky tabs you pull over to reseal and at that it is not very sticky.By the second use it wasn’t working. I transferred my coffee into the largest Tupperware bowl I could find(5 lbs. is a lot of coffee) to keep it fresh.

5 stars for the coffee. I love it and would buy it…

Bold, rich, chocolaty and organic

Sumatra roasts have typically been some of my favorite coffees. This Camano Island Sumatra is among the best. It’s got exactly what I’m looking for: a nice, bold flavor without too much acidity. There are some hints of chocolate in there that made me compare it to Trader Joe’s MochaJava. It’s a great afternoon or evening coffee, especially with a rich desert since it has the character to contend with the sweetness of a rich cake.

The price is remarkable for the quality of the coffee. You could pay $15 a pound for some ‘premier’ coffee from the likes of Intelligentsia, but I don’t feel the price difference is at all warranted when you can get a coffee this good for half as much. Are there better coffees out there? Sure, but they’re not that much better at 2-3x the price.

This is well worth getting if you like Sumatra style roasts.

Very tasty.

good coffee, good price

Deep, rich flavor. Great price when you use the subscribe and save option considering it is organic and fair trade. While the big bag is kind of clunky, I’m glad the company is willing to reduce waste by using larger packages. It’s easy enough for me to transfer to glass, ceramic or metal food storage bins.
