Single-Origin Organic Whole Bean Coffee - Peru (12oz)

Rich and bold

I love strong coffee and this one is so far my favorite. It has a rich, smooth flavor and does not bother my stomach or throat. I just reordered more since I enjoyed it so much.

Single-Origin Organic Whole Bean Coffee - Uganda (12oz)

I love all of General Warfields special specialty coffees. I like Peru I like Uganda and Ethiopia and I don’t know which one is best but I think of the three they’re all good but I think my favorite is Peru.

Single-Origin Organic Whole Bean Coffee - Peru (12oz)

Easy transition from caffein

“You should cut out caffeine “ words that made me panic .. I have loved coffee since I was very young and woke up to the robust fragrance of strong coffee. My Dad would put a few spoonfuls in my milk to get me to like milk…. I never could drink it! But coffee I drink every day. I liked it strong with no sugar and just a little white. You know it is good coffee when you pour a little white and it mushrooms up from the bottom to the top. So of course I tried it with my very first cup of General W. And what a beautiful explosion it was … I know I have
Made the right choice because previous brands I tried not so much. Now I have a cup in the afternoon because I can🎶

General Warfield’s Coffee

Great Low Acid Coffee, Highly Recommended

My wife Brenda loves coffee however, the acid in coffee can really upset her stomach. General Warfields Special Blend Whole Bean Coffee does not create any issues that other strong coffees do. It has a deep and rich flavor that does not over power the pleasure of drinking coffee. If you are looking for a great cup of coffee without the acid this is the coffee for you.

Single-Origin Organic Whole Bean Coffee - Uganda (12oz)

My favorite selection!

Having tried them all, this one is my favorite. It’s slightly milder/sweeter than Uganda or original, but doesn’t lack in flavor! Very pleased with all my purchases.

Best price for a great coffee.

I used to order from another company, but due to high price and missed shipments. I am so glad to have switched.

A Good Decaf

Most decaf coffee is not very good. The General Warfield decaf, however is good and I enjoy drinking it during the midday.

Hi Larry, we're glad you enjoy our decaf blend! Thank you so much for sharing your positive experience. Hopefully we can earn all 5 stars in the future. Best wishes!

Hello John, we're quite delighted to hear you enjoy our coffees. We feel very honored! Thank you so much for your support and happy brewing!

Hi Jan, thank you so much... The Uganda roast is my personal favorite and is also one of our best sellers. We are glad to hear you enjoy it as much as we do. We really do appreciate your support.

So far I like them all. Just found out the black bag is back. I cant wait to try that one.

Thank you for your kind words and support. We appreciate you.

Tasted awful.

Hi Timothy,

We're sorry to hear this roast didn't hit the mark for you seeing our Ethiopia Yirgacheffe is one of our best sellers. That's genuinely disappointing to read, and not the experience we want anyone to have with our coffee.

We'd love to make this right, but "tasted awful" doesn't give us much to go on. Would you be willing to share a bit more? Was it bitter, sour, weak, burnt, or something else?

Also, it would be helpful to know your brew method, grind size, and water ratio, since even great beans can taste off if the brew parameters are a little out of range.

Please reach out to us directly via our email. If it's a brew setup we're more than happy to help troubleshoot. Either way, we appreciate you giving us a try and we're sorry this wasn't the experience you were hoping for.

For a decafe i actually like this one. But because i have also tried the low acid regular coffees you have i think that i dont need decafe. I have tried the blue bag and the geen bag and loved them so i just ordered the purple bag of regular then I will get the black bag and red bag and pretty sure I will be pleased.
I think I will be a steady customer. Ya I love this coffee.

Hi Vivian, we're so glad to hear you love our coffee! It’s wonderful that you’re exploring different blends and planning to become a steady customer. Thanks for your support!
