What location grows your favorite taste. I like the Rwandan, The Land of a Thousand Hills Coffee. A portion of the proceeds go to help Rwanda continue to recover from mass genocide.

Gotta to go with Columbia right now.  I drink those green mountain coffees at work and go for the Columbia Sumpremo.  I also buy the Starbucks Columbia from the grocery store.  I ahve a lot to learn in the coffee field though.

So hard to say.  My absolute favorite bean I ever had was from Bolivia.  However I find myself drinking Costa Ricans the most.   The La Minta I have now is really remarkable.....then again a good blue mountain is tough to beat when roasted right.....and you can forget the Kenyn AAAs that come around they are fantastic too.. I used to be able to get  Cuban beans and their pretty special..and.....and....and it goes on and on

I chose Island Property, because my all-time favorite coffee is the Blue Mountain coffee from Jamaica.  I seriously need to get my hands on some of that stuff really soon!  I'm really starting to get ansy for it!

I like the fuller bodied coffees like Sumatran or Kenyan, although I seem to be on a never ending quest for the perfect cup.

I love me some good Kenya or Ethiopia coffee.  I picked up some Bali coffee from a local roaster that was out of this world.  It tasted like blueberries and cognac.

I really love a good Guatemalan coffee.  This is generally more available as greens typically found in farm direct lots.

I love coffee, yes. From where? Kona is tough to beat, but I am not too picky, as long as it is fresh. Now, I have had my share of cups o' mud, but I love coffee. Did I mention that I love coffee? Coffee, coffee coffee. WEEEEEEEE!  :biggrin:  :crazy:

Not 100% sure but gonna have to go with Guatemalen here...   Unfortunately, though, the Germans just implemented a new mailing rule, no more importing of Coffee Beans or Tobacco or they just confiscate them...   Bummer on the coffee because I used to order mine from coffebeandirect.  Cigars...  meh...   they're just hobby supplies...  :biggrin:

Coffee, like cigars, I could tell you the brands and/or flavors I like, but I never pay that much attention to country of  origin.  I like variety too, so to have a favorite is hard to say.  I do like Kona, thats for sure.  Sumatran is good.  Columbian is a staple really.  Hard to say.  Good thread to come back up.

For the past two days I've been drinking Clydesdale Estate Blue Mountain City+ Roast! It was roasted on monday, and it showed up yesterday! Can't beat a fresh roast! :) I just bought 6 types of beans w/ various roasts. I'm going to put what I wont be able to drink in the next two weeks in freezer bags, put the freezer bags in quart sized mason jars and freeze them to keep them fresh for at least 6 weeks. In the past, I used to let my beans go stale unknowingly (because I was buying in bulk to save money apprx 2.5lbs at a time), but once you know better, you do better.
