Packaging
********
The coffee is ground and vaccum packed inside a foil bag which is inside a rather nice tin.
Although the tin should keep the coffee pretty fresh once the foil bag has been opened, I tend to remove the bag from the tin, roll it over to close it, and wrap an elastic band around it so that it stays closed and airtight. Then I keep it in the freezer, so that the coffee remains fresh, and use it straight from frozen whenever I make a jug of coffee.

The Taste
********
So far I've tasted two of the four blends, and enjoyed them both, but the Rich Blend was definitely my favourite. It was very smooth and rich, and there was no bitterness about it at all. I like my coffee to be strong, but not too strong, and I like it to have some body. This blend ticked all the boxes. It was everything that it promised to be, and I really enjoyed drinking it.
I would recommend this coffee without hesitation.
Summary: My favourite.
