        I keep finding old recommendations that may have been completely true when posted. What I want is what people have actually received recently, how long it took to arrive, and how it behaved after resting.

          Recent Spain report: my last order arrived within the normal window for domestic/import delivery and the roast date was recent enough that I still rested it before brewing. The useful part was consistency across two bags, not one spectacular cup.

            Also in Spain, but my order was a few months ago, so treat this as older evidence. Shipping was fine and the coffee opened up after about two weeks. I would still want a newer report before subscribing.

              Foreign and older report, so this belongs lower in the pile. The coffee itself was excellent, but transit changed the resting window enough that my recipe notes are probably not portable to your order.

                    If you are ordering one bag internationally, the shipping cost becomes a tasting note.
