I need to make a order from them. I am going to try the sampler.

Is that a sampler you did or you picked them all?

If you want an idea on the 8# sampler, this is what I got in mine a couple of weeks ago:

Rwanda Kibuye Gitesi
El Salvador Majahual-Tablon La Montana
Ethopia Illubabor-Camp Cooperative
El Salvador Matalapa-Tablon El Naranjo
India Poabs Organic Seethargundu Estate
Guatemala Acatenango-Finca La Soledad
Ethopia Limu Jimma-Alaga Sekala
Brazil Cerrado Fazenda No-Name-O

I got this in a 4lb sampler a couple weeks ago.

Ethopia Illubabor-Camp Cooperative
India Poabs Organic Seethargundu Estate
Guatemala Acatenango-Finca La Soledad
Brazil Cerrado Fazenda No-Name-O

I picked them. I've done 2 4lb samplers before though and was pleased.

With my palate, I don't know that I can really tell one variety from the other and as far as I'm concerned, I'll save $1+/lb and just keep ordering 8# samplers. :D

Just place my own 6lb order.

Ecuador Organic El Batan Microlot - 1 lbs
Sumatra Lintong Tano Batak - 1 lbs
Sweet Maria's Espresso Monkey Blend - 2 lbs
Sweet Maria's Liquid Amber Espresso Blend - 2 lbs

I'm thinking I need to go to the 12 cup french press. I can polish off the 8 cup quite easily and leave the Mrs. with nothing when I head off to the hospital in the morning. :D

You'd be surprised how much variance you get from region to region. Degree of roast and grind amount has an impact too.

Tasting cherry, plum, almonds, etc, is hard for me, but the difference between different regions is pretty noticable.

When I drink coffee, I know whether I like it or not. I'm not good at detecting what I remember one day from the next from one variety to the next. I'd have to do side by side taste tests to get a much better feel of what's really different from one to another. Just haven't gotten thy far yet.
