We tend to buy Fair Trade, organic coffee when we can, and when I came across Coffee Bean Direct, I thought that their selection of beans was great. They sell their coffee by the pound, by the 5lb, and even in 25 lb bags.
They also offer sampler packages, in case you'd like to try a few kinds before buying in bulk. Coffee Bean Direct roasts their own coffee beans, which eliminates a middleman and gets gourmet coffee at great prices to your coffee maker.
We tried out the Costa Rican La Amistad Organic which is grown on La Amistad farm, a farm that has been dedicated to organic growing practices for over 10 years.
I must say that it was wonderful! It was smooth, a bit nutty, and not acidic like some other brands we've tried. We got whole bean coffee and ground it ourselves, which makes for a better brew too.
My husband and I have been thoroughly enjoying it with our breakfasts, both iced and hot. It's a great way to wake up to the day.
You can find many more varieties and roasts at Coffee Bean Direct. Which is your favorite?

WE could be coffee soulmates! Like you, one of my only indulgences is good coffee. Also like you, I automatically gravitate towards Fair Trade, especially Organic Fair Trade coffees. One of the coffees that most appealed to me on the Coffee Direct site is the Dark Sumatra Gayoland Organic Fair Trade.
