STORY:
The Planadas Organic became an instant favourite – no matter who’s roasting it, the results are sublime. It is one of our favourite single origin coffees. Diego Carranza, Quality Control Manager for Oro Molido (our producers in Colombia) is from this region. He asked if they could support the area by exporting some of their coffee. We’re sure glad they said yes! This excelso grade is excellent coffee, with a smooth mouth feel and great body. It is a fine representation of the flavours that come from this spectacular but lesser-known region.

Bought both of the four – sample packages first, graded the coffees on a scale of ten. The Planadas was the only ten in our opinion, so ordered a 5 lb bag. Cost of shipping was such that next time we’ll buy 10 lbs to take advantage of the free shipping. REALLY GOOD COFFEE!!

I’m not a connoisseur. I like strongly prefer light to medium roasts. Really enjoyed this bean on a light roast. Also did a medium roast which was excellent.

Excellent bean. I roasted mine to a medium. Turned out quite well.
The service was great and delivery was quick.

I’ve had two 10lb orders of Planadas, the current order are some of the largest beans I’ve ever roasted. The quality control and screening are top notch. I like a medium roast and these beans are predictable and uniform. Great flavour and mouth feel.
Delivery was fast and effortless.

Excellent. I like a fairly dark roast, second crack, and this bean makes an amazing cup of coffee.

Second review, the Planadas is as enjoyable as ever. Making it in a 3-cup Moka pot, once a day, so a pound lasts a month. Original order for five pounds worked out to $14.07/lb because it was $10.39/lb plus $16.00 shipping, plus $2.40 HST. As I suspected, the free shipping with the 10 lb package worked out to $8.40/lb. On-line order/delivery was flawless. Good Company, good coffee.
