LavazzaCoffee Espresso Tierra, Whole Beans, 1000gRainforest AllianceRainforest AllianceRainforest AllianceRainforest Alliance

I have purchased around 50kg of these Lavazza Tierra coffee beans over the years. I keep coming back to it. That is for two reasons: These arabica beans consistently produce coffee with an excellent rounded flavour. The second is that coffee production makes a huge contribution to unsustainable deforestation, so I prefer to buy 'rainforest alliance' coffees that support sustainably production and give the farmers a decent income. We mostly drink this coffee as espresso despite arabica beans producing less crema and having less caffeine than a traditional robusta blend. The payback is a rich complexity of taste. I have bought both the Brasile and the Intenso varieties. The Brasile is very smooth, rounded with particularly low acidity. The Intenso is slightly lighter roasted with more complexity but a tad more acidity. The Intenso is perhaps better for espresso. The beans may not quite match small batch locally roasted beans for freshness of flavour but they are highly consistent. I should add that I have never found a stone in this coffee, which is more than can be said for locally roasted beans. Overall, highly recommended!

Love this coffee. Smooth and tasty and makes lovely cappuccino. Very long BB date so not old batch.

For some reason coffee always seems very expensive on Amazon I have no problem picking up either whole beans or ground coffee for £6 per kg or less elsewhere so when I spotted these at £6.12 for two 500g packs with free delivery I ordered them immediately. The weight of the bags was not obvious from the item description I had to read it off the side of the bag in the picture before I could verify it was indeed 500g bags I was ordering.The coffee beans arrived promptly they make reasonably strong & smooth tasting coffee. I would say they are suited to any brewing method you care for whether it is filter/cafetiere/espresso/aeropress etc... assuming you grind them appropriately of course I have certainly used a variety of methods to brew it & all have turned out very well.If the price remains sensible then I will certainly buy these beans again.

Wow, very delicious smooth medium roasted coffee in this price! Excellent 👌

I used this coffee in a bean to cup coffee machine. The espressos produced were the best that machine has ever done! The crema was outstanding and the flavour full of nutty, chocolatey notes and was also robust enough to come through when used to make latte and cappuccino drinks. The beans were well within their shelf-life, so nice and fresh.

Nice taste

Love this coffee! Have tried so many and always come back to this one as my favourite. It's strong and smooth and tastes great. Would definitely recommend to coffee lovers everywhere.

Lovely coffee. Buy it all the time.
