Question 1

I've just roasted these on the stove top, and saw no chaff from the beans or expansion or popping at all. Why?

Accepted Answer

These are high grade beans that do not produce much chaff and are very fresh, just harvested. The fact that you see no chaff is the proof of the quality of the bean. You may be roasting at a temperature that is too low. Try different temperatures to see what works best.

Question 2

Is Ethiopian Yirgacheffe bitter?

Accepted Answer

HI BuBu, Ethiopian Yirgacheffe is fruity, or can also be called floral.

Question 3

What justifies your twelve dollar price? Everyone else sells it for around $7 per pound.

Accepted Answer

Hi Jim, Thanks for your question regarding our product.  There are many different price ranges for coffee beans, ranging from around 2 dollars a pound to 25 dollars a pound for a good Kona.  Ethiopian Yirgacheffe has 3 different grades and several different regions where the beans are harvested giving a variety of quality, tastes and prices. Morning Hills Coffee is about quality and purchases higher grade beans.  We also use high quality pouches to preserve freshness.  Some of the pouches others use such as clear plastic which allow daylight or cloth sacks that allow moisture are less expensive but have a greater risk of beans being compromised by their environment.  Lastly, Amazon also recieves a portion of the cost in exchange our customers receive first class quality service and 2 day delivery.  These are just some of the reasons the prices can be different for coffee.  One of our 5 star reviews recently was from a person from Ethiopia and they were amazed by the quality of bean we offer, that must mean something because they have tried many different Yirgacheffe beans and seem to like ours best.  I hope that helps you some.  Have a great day!

Question 4

Is there an expiration date on these beans? How soon must they be roasted?

Accepted Answer

I am unaware of any expiration date. My experience is that unroasted beans are good for many months. I've never had beans show any deterioration, but I'm careful to store them cool and dry.
