Cuir_Beluga They're here! They even threw in a bonus Honduras Intibuca, I don't know anything about them so I'm off to have a look.
Cuir_Beluga Not bad at all I don't think. I will have to get my roast on, not just yet though as I have almost a kilo roasted at the moment.
Cuir_Beluga In case anyone is interested, I just ordered another 10 kilos and the shipping shot up to $30.
Cuir_Beluga So, my second lot of beans from ICT are being delivered today by Aust Post along with 5 kilos from elsewhere. For some reason it was much faster going this time round by Aust Post. My first order took a week, this one 4 days. Excited! :rofl:
Cuir_Beluga I had a minor hiccup this time around. There was one bag missing but I used their live chat function and I was told they would have one sent out to me that day. No harm done.
DrD Hi everyone I'm looking at buying some beans from ICT for the first time. Anyone have any particular beans they have tried and would recommend? I'm looking at trying various ones from Africa, South and Central America, India ... the "works and jerks" as my Dad would say ;-) Thanks, Dan
Cuir_Beluga So far out of what I have bought from ICT I have roasted and drank the Burundis, Sidimos, and the Kongas and they were all lovely. YTMV (Your tastes may vary) :coffee2:
DrD Thanks so much ... had the Sidamo and Konga on my list, just need to work out a few others now. It is a problem when you are spoilt with choice ;-)
Cuir_Beluga It is, so many good ones to try. Perhaps grab a "mystery bag" too, I did with my last order.
Brett_H Hi mate, they’re all fresh! Some stand-outs I’ve had have been their Monsooned Robusta and any and all of the Brazilians and the Nicaraguan Santa Rita.
Cuir_Beluga I'm tempted too but I am sitting on a few too many, for me, at the moment plus I just forked put for a new grinder, again, so I am in $$ recovery mode lol. His prices have gone up a bit too but he is still well priced.
DrD Everyone...thanks for the recommendations. I will be placing an order shortly. Even got a "10% off my first purchase" offer, which is a nice sweetener ;-)
