SOLD OUT - Green Coffee Stash Reduction

[moglman]

This is sold out

I am posting here for a couple days before posting elsewhere in case there is interest.

I need to reduce the amount of green coffee I have on hand. I will happily roast and drink any of the green coffee I am selling. All lots were procured in 2011 are 2010-2011 crop. Coffee is generally packed at 400 - 415 g each with the exception of the Sidamo Ardi which are at 1 lb each, and vacuum sealed since I got the in. It has all been stored in my cool basement, and exposure to light, heat and air practically nil since it arrived. CONUS only please. Shipping is free for handoff, priority mail $5.35 (sm flat rate) for 1, $11.35 (med flat rate) for 2-6. If I have another box, I won't charge more than my cost shipping. Thanks for looking.

I was just about to place an order. I need to look up one or two of these to see what the characteristics are though before I can commit. I'm tentatively interested in the stuff from Peru though.

Ok. I looked into Peru, it sounds like I'd need to roast to the point of carbon to avoid bright cups. I guess I'm not sure if its truly acidity or my extreme sensitivity to PTC. Either way, I find coffees described as bright or acidic are nearly unpalatable.
