JapanQuarity of La Minita this time is less than before(though it was a bit long ago) I expected more aroma.
United StatesI’ve been drinking la minita for some time now. I find the coffee purchased from Tico seems to be fresher though quite a bit more than my other supplier. I haven’t decided whether to continue to purchase here due to the almost double price from other vendors. $25 for shipping and 12 oz of coffee is steep to me. The product itself was excellent.
CanadaI was expecting the flavours to be a bit stronger without being that of a darker roast but still pleased with the coffee. I guess the expectations built up by reading so much about the coffee in Wayne Stinnett's books were just not quite met.
