Teasia Coffee, Kenya AA, Single Origin, Green Unroasted Whole Coffee Beans, 5-Pound Bag

It's been a few years since I had bought a bean from Ethiopia. Even though it's probably my favorite region to buy beans from, each time I go shopping for beans I seem to get enticed by a region or bean I haven't tried yet. I'm very glad I wasn't swayed to try something else once I came across this bean. Very good bean and tough to beat at this price per pound. Shipping speed and packaging was second to none. I took the first roast to full city and was met with a very smooth and flavorful cup. I'm hoping to play around with the roast a little in hopes that I find a little bolder cup...(5lbs at this price I think I can afford to take a few risks with the roast). Will definitely consider this bean and Teasia's other offerings in the future.

My wife and I have been trying various green coffee beans from Africa for nearly a year now and we saw this Congo Kivu coffee beans and wanted to try. Teasia is known for the Tea that they sell, so no surprises that the packaging was top notch. The coffee beans are of good quality and they roast evenly in my hand roaster and I roast to City roast level typically and is recommended by SweetMaria's as well. Congo Kivu is the most fragrant of all the coffee that I have roasted and makes a decent cup of coffee as well. I am no coffee connoisseur but coffee definitely feels earthy and a bit on the sweeter side and those who know of Jaggery Molasses, it kinda reminds that because of the way it tastes. We definitely will go back to Ethiopian or Kenya coffee after this though.

Very nicely packed. These beans are smallish (almost like a Peaberry) and seem to roast really quickly (I was using new/different roasting equipment so this could have explained it as well). Regardless, I got a nice full city roast and a nice flavorful cup of joe out of it.

This is my first experience with Teasia green beans. I roasted them to Full City in my Gene Cafe roaster. Not sure why, but these beans took a lot longer to roast than other beans I have purchased on Amazon (eg. Ethopian, Guatamalan, Brazilian, Peruvian). It usually takes about 18 minutes for Full City but these took a full 25 minutes on the same roasting profile. This hasn't been my experience with Sumatra Mandheling from other suppliers. The resulting brew was fine...nothing special. I would probably have given the beans 3.5 stars (if that were possible). Unfortunately, while I watched the beans roast, I saw something white in the roasting drum. When the roast finished and cooled, I discovered that the white object was a rough stone, or cement particle, about the size of a pea. I'm glad that it didn't end up in my expensive grinder. Yesterday, it happened again, although the object was a bit smaller this time. I have one more 5 pound bag of the Sumatra left to roast. I will be checking the beans very closely before roasting. This has never happened to me before with any other company's beans.

I bought the Mexican Chiapas. I am brand new to roasting coffee at home, but this makes for nice aromatic roasted beans and a flavorful cup of coffee. I don't pretend to be a super taster, but I am happy with this purchase and the price. I recently bought two more packages of this, but different origins, and plan to keep buying it as long as my experience with the next two bags is as positive as the one I had with the Mexican Chiapas.

Package arrived quickly and packaging was secured. The coffee is light green with a moderate to high amount of chaff. There is a mild spicy Aroma to the green coffee. I roasted to medium / full City Roast. The result was very smooth, balanced, nicely textured, and mildly fruity. This coffee is unlike bold Colombian or the floral African beans.

Look brother, i dont drink coffee often but when i do, this stuff gets me going its like mainlining adderal but without the assocaited side effects. great flavor, taste and texture....i cannot fathom why on earth you would spend $1000000 at starbux for relabeled generic local reject beans...this is the good stuff right here man.

This is the first time that I've tried green coffee. I'm quite impressed of the quality and taste. The beans are smaller and more uniform, which is very good. I think it tastes creamer than regular coffee. I roasted mine in medium body.I would recommend to everyone to try.

Horrible coffee. Wouldn't buy it again. Bitter flavor and nothing else. Very disappointing.

No issue with it. Only made a few roasts so far and it has turned out great!

Unfortunately we didn't like this coffee. We've been home-roasting for many years, and I am a former Chef.

Excellent coffee. Good flavor and I love to home roast so it works out. I like these small businesses working hard on customer service.

It was nice to try it, but it turned out to be a challenge to my roasting skills or equipment. I thought it came out sour.

We've only roasted one batch so far, but the beans are great

I have roasted single-estate 100% Kona for decades and was looking for a less expensive option that wouldn't disappoint with flavor. Does it taste exactly the same?

I decided to try the Congo Kivu beans as a switch from my usual Kenyan. These beans produce a brighter cup than the Kenyan with some floral notes.

reasonable price and fast delivery. will definitely buy again! thank you!

The is a superb bean - I have roasted three batches so far - three different ways. City, Full City, and Full City PlusFirst I would say I was a little off-put by some...
