Sweet sweet caffeine
Caffeine! Sweet sweet caffeine.This is freaking delicious. It's deep, but not punch you in the throat bitter. It's flavorful without needing all that glitter fufu from other places.... Yeah..I know, you know, what I'm referring to (To each their own).I wish I could make this an air freshener, it is the most amazing smell ever... smells like heaven high fived Nirvana.The kiss of chocolate at the end, that sealed the deal for me.Caffeine!!!!!!

Not bitter like some other coffees I've had
I am obsessed with the smell of the coffee beans! If I could live in this bag I would.....I usually add sugar to my coffee but I can actually drink this black because of how smooth it is. Rich warm flavors with a slight nutty aroma. Not bitter like some other coffees I've had.**UPDATE: I caved and added sugar...NO REGRETS, it's amazing.

Exceptionally delicious coffee beans.
This coffee is exceptionally and surprisingly good, especially as Uganda isn't known for its coffee (but should be). Not only are the beans, themselves, delicious, but they have been roasted with great skill, leaving coffee in the cup which tastes just as the beans smell when ground (which has always been my ideal). The beans are vacuum-packed, and when they arrived they were exceptionally fresh as though they'd just been roasted. The beans, themselves, are the Bourbon variety and have the same distinctive flavor of Santos Bourbon from Brazil, but the flavor is a good deal more intense than the Brazilian beans I've purchased. Bravo!

Gave it 2 chances, you get what you pay for.
Well, the price is definitely nice for this coffee, unfortunately, it's just not great.My first order I tried the Ethiopian Yirgacheffe. I wasn't familiar with it, but saw people rave about it, so gave it a whirl.It wasn't terrible, but wasn't great either, with consistent off flavors. A certain sourness, different from the common bitterness.It wasn't undrinkable, though I learned to use my Aeropress instead of my preferred pour-over, as the pour-over brings out all flavors, including the bad ones. And I didn't like drinking it black, or with a splash of cream as I normally do, and felt like I needed sugar or other 'cover-ups' to actually enjoy the cuppa. But, for a cheap, weekday morning, "Get Going!" cup... I started throwing in some mushroom powder, which gave it an earthy flavor that was an improvement, and survived through the bag. The weekends when I had pour-over of a better, but more expensive brand were definitely appreciated after 5 days of this stuff!Since I couldn't be sure if it was the roaster or the beans, I went ahead and gave them a 2nd chance. After all, look at the reviews! Every raves about how great their coffee is! I was a barista for a dozen years, owned my own shop for a good long while, have tried lots and lots of coffees, but don't consider myself any sort of expert or have an ultra refined palette. So surely it was just that first bag or the type of coffee.So, I ordered Costa Rican. It doesn't get much more straightforward than that. Not the most exciting origin. Simple, medium roast, not especially bold or nuanced. Should just taste like coffee. But, the coffee has the same off odors and taste, the same sour, "cheap bean" flavors.It's still drinkable, but working through my 2nd bag is challenging, and I find myself skipping coffee at home more and more mornings and just wait until I get to work where there's an espresso machine. So, if you just need cheap coffee that's better than some other cheap coffee, sure, this is cheap and okay. If you want something to look forward to in the morning, and enjoy while you're drinking it... keep looking. You'll probably have to pay more, unfortunately. I don't like the fact that everyone is selling coffee by the 12oz bag instead of by the pound now, and charging ridiculous amounts. But I've yet to find a cheaper alternative that's worth drinking.

Great flavor and value
I'm glad Teasia offers whole bean for folks that prefer their coffee a variety of ways.This particular blend tastes great using my aeropress. While, I used a cheap grinder on my first brew, I'll probably go back to my Hario manual grinder next time.

A cup of happiness!
I’ve tried a few diff varieties of Teasia coffee and so far Sulawesi is my fav. At first, I wasn’t sure I liked it...my brewing process was espresso pot....slighly sour in the palate finish. So I tried my pour over, same issue: a bit harshness of the roast was coming thru. Finally, my Bialetti glass press, produced great Sulawesi coffee nearly perfectly balanced, nutty, round coffee flavors similar to a good Colombian whole bean. Hint: grind on Medium / fine; “burst” the beans in 1 oz. of water for 1 minute prior to filling the press with boiling water; and gourmet’s tip is a little central Am. ground to the Sulawesi beans to make a pleasing blend, reason: brewers secret is that Indonesian (Sulawesi) are often complemented with a mix of 1/3 central Am. beans...Enjoy!

Disappointing ...needs to be roasted a bit longer
Not what I expected. I purchased the Teasia Kenya 2 lb bag of medium roasted coffee with the expectation that it would be as tasty or better than St*rb*cks Kenya aa which is quite good but costs more. Unfortunately Teasia is weak tasting and devoid of any character. I increased the amount hoping the extra grounds would increase the flavor but I guess I will need to roast a small portion as an experiment to see if darker beans will give this coffee the extra boost it needs. For the record I have been a coffee purist for decades and I always use a French press, a Breville burr grinder, and purified filtered water from the vending machines. wish I could return the bag.

I like mine coarsely grinded
I've been making my own cold brew for a few years now and I'm always looking for coffees from different regions to try out. I like mine coarsely grinded, which helped make a rich, but not bitter or acidic cold brew. I liked it so much I am going to try different flavors of their whole beans for regular brew.
