Ethical Bean Fair Trade Organic Coffee, Bold Dark Roast, Whole Bean Coffee - 2lb (908g) Bag

At this price there is a lot of competition and this coffee while being good doesn't quite tick all the boxes for a $25 bag worth.Don't get me wrong - it is a good, "ethical" coffee (whatever that means), and delivers as described. Smoky/cocoa finish, and a slightly sweet aftertaste, strong as well. It is just a bit too light on flavor in this price category. It definitely didn't dethrone my two mainstays, Kimbo or Ruta Maya, both of these have a deeper complexity of flavor.It might be just me but at somewhere into a 0.5lbs of it I got bored and started alternating it with the other two mentioned above.I'd probably say that this one works great in cappuccinos.

This stuff is great. I love the Illy coffee but it's so expensive and I wanted to buy something organic and fair trade instead of continue to enrich the Western coffee conglomerates. This stuff is great. The flavor is strong and I have to say I barely noticed the difference with the Illy stuff (medium and dark). We use it in our DeLonghi fully automatic EAM 3300 and you initially could not tell when we switched the beans. I think there is a slight difference, the Illy does come across a little stronger with otherwise same settings. But I'd rather be organic and fair trade. Taste and quality wise, this is definitively 5 stars. Taste preference wise, I think the Illy has a slight edge as it has a very strong unique character, but this one makes me feel better.

This is really, very good coffee! Clean and crisp but perfect balance, depth and acidity. I selected the Lush. It’s said to be a medium-bold, but to be truthful, it’s a beautiful medium with subtle complexity. A very good cup of Joe!

Great aroma - everyone in our household prefers it to any coffee we have had for the last few years.

I love this coffee. Not all organic coffee was created equal. I have had this coffee tested and it is cleaner than clean for anyone who is sensitive to pesticides. It’s dark and delicious !

I like dark, robust coffee. This met my expectations with a smooth, creamy taste. I was looking for an ethically grown coffee and although this does not specifically say “shade-grown,” I wrote the company and they said it was (I can’t remember the exact wording.)

I got the Lush for us to try since Ethical Besn Classic is our favorite coffee of all and it is great. This is now my daughter's favorite. I like it too but still love Classic.

LOVE this organic coffee!! Dark French Roast is hard to find and when coffee arrived was thrilled to brew first cup in my French Press! Not disappointed at all!

Ethical bean coffee requires no intro at this point in time; their beans are in generally above average but so are quite a few others so that's nothing to write home about. I do enjoy the slightly fruity and smokey aroma with an earthy note to get me started [particularly] in the morning. It also has subtle hint of nutty aroma that I love but it's somewhat inconsistent for me.As for flavours, this is our current replacement for Kicking Horse (Grizzly or Kick*ss dark roast) which was what we used to go with years; however, I've found that the quality of those Kicking Horse dark roast beans has gotten inconsistent for the last little while and to avoid disappointment I've opted for these medium roast beans instead which seems (at the moment) to be a better choice in terms of quality and more importantly, my expectation, as far as I'm concerned.These are also slightly less bitter for me in comparison to the Kicking Horse dark roast and there is no surprise there; however, what's surprising is the fact that it's still significantly fuller-bodied with a heavy texture that's really unexpected in comparison to Kicking Horse (which I'm unlikely to go back to at this point in time).≡ ValueI very much prefer consistency and so far this particular roast has given me that and for that it's somewhat reasonably priced at $30 (907g/2lbs) this time. It was $20 the last time we bought it (around 4 months ago).

Ok, just not my cup of tea....coffee.. LOL.

I LOVE this coffee. I look to buy only fair trade coffee and that drew me to Ethical Bean in the first place. It is a full-bodied coffee, consistently flavourful and at a reasonable price. What could be better?

I recently purchased the Ethical Bean Lush Medium Dark Roast Coffee, and I must say that I'm quite impressed with the quality and taste of this coffee. The beans are sourced from a single origin in Peru and are organic, Fairtrade certified, and shade-grown. I appreciate the company's commitment to sustainability and ethical sourcing practices.When brewing the coffee, the aroma is rich and inviting, and the taste is smooth, full-bodied, and well-balanced. I can taste the notes of caramel, chocolate, and hazelnut that are mentioned in the product description. It's the perfect pick-me-up for those early mornings or midday slumps.The 907g bag is also quite generous and will last me for a while. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend Ethical Bean Lush Medium Dark Roast Coffee to anyone looking for a delicious and ethical coffee option.
