I worked in the coffee industry for a decade and it was always a pleasure to serve this coffee.
It is bold without being bitter and holds up especially well as an espresso or cold brew. I served it alongside higher end third wave coffees here in NYC and it was comparable in quality and flavor. For roughly the same price as buying coffee in the US, you can get coffee that directly benefits the community it comes from. Buying in bulk is especially economical, with a 5lb bag plus shipping coming out to <$15 a pound. I can not recommend it enough.
Also comrades, the rest of the site has some great items for sale as well. Check them out here!

Excellent. been buying from a local co-op that does single origin stuff, but this looks great.
I only drink one cup of coffee a day using a clever dripper (~18g of coffee per day). According to a rough calculation, that means it'd take me 122 days to finish a 5 lb bag. Would the coffee still be fresh after that long?
Buy beans and grind them yourself. They'll stay fresh if you keep the beans dark and somewhat cool
Ground coffee goes stale in 30 minutes. Always buy whole bean and grind it right before brewing. If you can spring for a burr grinder the results will be better.
I buy Zapatista coffee bulk and then freeze it
Towards the end it won’t be as high in quality but it definitely will be not terrible as long as you store it properly! You can also brew some as cold brew to help burn through the cache a bit faster. I’ve used it for cold brew about 100 days after I got it and it still slapped
hell yeah that rules. never made cold brew before, but that sounds like a great idea!
It’s super easy you can make it as long as you have a container and something to strain with
Refrigerate it?
Don't think that's good for the oils. I'll probably just order a 3lb bag once I've finish the current coffee I have

Freezing it is the best way to save it. Just make sure it’s thawed before grinding and brewing.
