Ethical Bean Fairtrade Organic Lush Medium Dark Roast Whole Bean Coffee (12 oz Bag)

Love this coffee! I like more of an earthy taste... not nutty, sweet, or fruity and this coffee is one of my favorites. I tried it on a whim as I'm always looking for a new favorite. This one is very smooth and has a great taste. The packaging is great as it's a resealable bag. The beans look and smell great too. Added this to subscribe and save, which is not something I normally do with coffee as I like to try different ones, but this one is really good and the price is fantastic compared to others that I have bought in the past.

I recently purchased a few different coffees with good reviews on Amazon. Started with several Ethical Bean and Kicking Horse blends. Only the LUSH ground was available for Subscription, so I begrudgingly got it instead of whole beans. To say it's one of the tastiest coffees I've ever had would be an understatement. It's strong without being too bold. The chocolate and fruit tones are aromatic and glorious. It's like waking up to a spring dawn every morning. If that sounds frou frou poetic, it's the kind of imagery this coffee conjures. "Lush" is actually a great word to describe the taste. Like a wonderful dark chocolate, it's like a wave that sweeps over your palate.I use it with an AeroPress with the mesh filter, so you get a little of the oil in the brew. Try it. Or maybe not. I hate having to wait for my shipments because Amazon is constantly out of stock.

was smooth but a little mild for our taste

I'm not a coffee connoisseur, but this coffee is very smooth with no hint of acidic bite. I can use less sweetener than with supermarket brands, and I can even taste the chocolate undertones. For me that is something because I don't have the greatest taste buds. And it's fair trade coffee, which was why I originally tried this coffee. I will be reordering this coffee.

Ethical Bean Lush is the best coffee I've ever tasted. Perfection. It's also the freshest - even weeks after opening it the aroma is just as wonderful.

The overall look to the packaging is great. The bag itself is a bit on the mediocre side in comparison to other brands that charge less for organic coffee so it is a bit difficult to pour. The taste was OK (3 of 5). The coffee does leave a bit of a hard acid feel afterwards which is not bad but can be a bit much for others. There was not much of a WOW smell when I opened the bag as with many other coffees. Is the coffee strong> YES and to my liking, so kudos for that :). Overall, I do not think that for the price I would go out of my way to get another ground bag BUT if it was built easier to open, better construction of the bag and a bit of research on its "a bit higher than normal" acidity, then I would push everyone out of the way to get another bag, lol.

Love this coffee! Very smooth and creamy tasting with little acidity.I have a friend that brings me pure Kona coffee straight from a family farm so I am pretty spoiled when it comes to coffee. After trying a lot of different brands, I'm very happy with this one as my Kona back up.

I purchased our first bag of this coffee in January 2021. We liked the taste of the coffee so I went online and ordered two more bags in March. These bags are a joke! There was a sticker placed over the QR code that you scan to trace the beans. The sticker that was placed over the QR code said "New". I carefully peeled the sticker back and scanned the codes on both bags. This coffee was roasted in January 2020. It was good through January 2021. A pound of this coffee is $12.99. What a rip off!! I will never purchase this coffee again. Don't waste your money!
