Yet again great service

Yet again great service. Second order. I was sceptical on the first order so ordered a small amount. Second order I went for the larger bag.
Nothing gives you a better feeling than a good coffee.
Thankyou.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

not sure the price was worth it, lots of other coffee roasters with great coffee.

Coffee was good, just not worth the price I paid for such a small amount of coffee beans. Thanks for the experience though.

Hi Kevin, Thank you for your feedback. The price reflects the renown of Hacienda La Esmeralda, who's coffees do tend to be expensive due to their reputation and high-demand. We do appreciate your review though and hope you’ll try other coffees from our selection as we aim to supply a range of price points! If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Incredible experience for my first…

Incredible experience for my first order. Received my order within two days of ordering.
Was lucky enough to place my first order using a discount code. Have yet to try the beans themselves but I have been reassured they are the best you can buy!
