A Taste Around The World Fresh Roasted Coffee Sampler Pack 13 2oz bags (Whole Bean)

Wow, this is a fantastic way to try lots of different coffees from around the world, and Lavanta does a GREAT job.I've been learning quite a bit about coffee brewing methods during the last year, finally getting to the point of buying a nice Baratza burr grinder, and even going as far as weighing the coffee and water for my Kalita pour over brewer.After spending some time dialing in my grinder and perfecting my brewing method so that I can get a great cup of coffee every time (using locally roasted beans), I began looking around for an economical way of trying various roasted beans from around the world. That's when I happened on this sampler pack from Lavanta Coffee Roasters.The order arrived very quickly. It comes in a VERY thick clear sealed plastic bag which contains 13 separate foil sealed 2 oz. pouches. I could tell these beans were freshly roasted to order, because when I opened my first pouch (Columbia Supremo) the aroma was just amazing.After grinding the beans (14.4 grams) and placing them in the special filter in the Kalita pour over cup, adding 202 degree water (250 grams) brought up a spectacular "bloom" and more wonderful aroma. And after 3 1/2 minutes of brew time, let me tell you, that was one beautifully smooth and rich cup of coffee. Yummmy.There's enough coffee beans in each pouch for 3-4 cups of coffee, so you get an opportunity to really experience each variety, and then it's time to move on to another region. What FUN!!! And every pouch I've opened has been just as wonderfully fresh as the first pouch!By the way, if you're not into the whole grinding your own beans thing, Lavanta also offers this sampler pack with pre-ground coffee, but trust me, grinding your own beans is the way to go if you can.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this for anybody wanting to experience a large variety of freshly roasted coffee beans from around the world. Thanks Lavanta!

I enjoyed most of the coffees and exploring the different coffees from around the world. However, I did not like that I received the Tanzania Peaberry coffee 4x which was my least favorite coffee, I would have enjoyed it better if each one was different so that way i can explore more variety,

First, I'm somewhat of a coffee rookie, and I thought this would be a great way to explore. My preference is for La Colombe coffee, I have a grinder at home, and I use an Aeropress, often with the inverted method. While I'm a home-brew novice, I am a wine professional, so I hope my palate is slightly better than useless.After trying about a third of the way through, with different regions, I was beginning to doubt my brewing method because they all tasted the same. After some more research, I would say the coffee was over-roasted. I'd had enough African coffees with light roast to identify the "floral and citrus" characteristics; the African origins here didn't have those characteristics.I looked around the Lavanta website. They offer coffees roasted per your instructions/preference. It's a nice touch, but it lacks a "roasters choice" option. I would much prefer having someone with far more experience than I roasting each variety to bring out the unique expression of each style. This approach tends to place roast above origin. Which can be fine, but not what I was seeking for a taste around the world

Makes about 3-4 normal strength cups per pouch, 2 if you want a very strong flavor. I've enjoyed about half of these so far, each having different characters, flavors, and smells. Would recommend if you're trying to decide what coffees you enjoy most.

If you're a coffee lover this is the product for you. Imagine being able to smell the aroma of different coffees from around the world. It's pretty neat to be honest.

Huge hit! Got it for my office and we have all enjoyed trying different coffees from around the world. We measured out the coffee needed for a 8 cup pot of coffee. It made about two pots of coffee.

I have this as a gift to a lady I work with. She seems to love it as she tells me about which coffee she has everyday.

Nice coffee. Gave some as a gift so wish packaging was a little nicer, but then up goes the price.
