Poverty Bay Coffee Roasters

I was optimistic about this roaster because they offered same-day small batch delivery at an excellent price. I ordered the Ralph's light roast and it was actually delivered ahead of time, across the country in only 2 days. However, I was disappointed in the product. The bean bag was impossible to pull open so I had to cut it open with scissors. Despite the promise of same-day roasting on the order date, the roast date was not indicated anywhere on the bag. I of course can't know when they were roasted, but the beans had that kind of oily look to them that you find in a mass-produced (Peets, etc) store bean that has been packaged to last on shelf. Also, hard to define, but the beans were pretty recognizably a dark roast. The coffee was OK, better than a typical bean off-the-shelf, but not by a wide margin.

We are longtime fans of Poverty Bay - great product, a decaf that has some flavor and great mail order service!

Good coffee, cold brew coffee, you should try.

great coffee..hard working team
