I’m not trying to be mean. I’m really not. And I think it’s really cool you guys are into regenerative farming, etc. But I bought a bag of “very dark roast” whole bean from Natural Grocers in Wichita, KS. Annnnnd… the smell and taste of the coffee MAY be the worst I’ve ever experienced. Y’all need to ditch the very dark roast immediately. I’m scared to try any of your other roasts because of my experience with it.
Desert Sun has the most consistent, terrific product. I know that when I order from Desert Sun I'm going to get delicious, quality, fresh, and thoughtfully sourced coffee. The heart of Desert Sun really shines through.
Awesome coffee ☕️ have favorites but always try their new limited editions. Happy to support excellent small business 😊 Having found the blends we love we now order 5lb and 2lb bags as a monthly purchase to save on shipping cost and environmental impact.
Great coffee. Dark Canyon is my favorite roast ever. I wish it was a bit cheaper to buy and have delivered, it would definitely be my daily blend. It's my go-to coffee for leisurely weekends and special occasions. Complex and delicious.
We moved away from Durango over two years ago but continue to mail order our coffee on from Desert Sun. It’s extraordinary and consistent. Keep up the good work.
Your "Dark Canyon" which is supposed to be a French Roast is the worst French roast I have ever drank. Your description on the bag that it has a "tobacco flavor" is accurate. It tastes like an ashtray! Or that somebody has ground old cigarette butts in with it. I would suggest a French roast using a different bean. Even the cheap "8 O'clock" French roast they sell at City Market tastes better than the Dark Canyon.
I have tried to like it - to develop a taste for it but if that's what is being served at work or at a bakery I go somewhere else for my coffee.
One office that I visit frequently actually has that particular flavor on their coffee clubs list of coffees to please avoid as nobody but the cigarette smokers like it.
Please take this as constructive criticism. I love every other coffee you make but this one needs to be improved.
Discovered Desert Sun while camping at Mesa Verde. Came back home to the desert and ordered five pounds of whole beans. Searched a long time for an exceptional cup to brew at home...Desert Sun is it!

Excellent quality coffee. Organic, better than fair trade and roasted with TLC - you can tell! Best of the southwest!

The best coffee in the business!
