Jim's Organic Coffee Tanzanian Roasts

Jim's Organic Coffee™ is grown without synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. Not only is it better for you but, organic coffee also improves the ecosystem of the farms and surrounding communities through improved water quality, topsoil retention, and increased biodiversity. Jim's Organic Coffee is slowly hand roasted to deliver a rich full and clean cup. I have reviewed Jim's Organic Coffee before and I am pleased to do it again because I really think it is top notch! I also really love that they take being green a step further and use only green energy and they use a sealed, one-way valve, stay fresh coffee bag that contains 19% renewable resources.

Jim's organic coffee is available in an infinite variety of roasts, as well as flavored coffees. I am familiar of with their dark roasts Espresso Jimbo and French Roast, both of which are superb blends. This time I got try two single origin coffees, which means the beans come from one area.

The Tanzania "AA" Mbeya was a very nice blend. It is high in acidity and low in body. It is a light to medium blend with notes of cherry. This is a great roasts for enoying as brewed coffee as opposed to espresso because it has so many light subtle flavors. I also tried the Tanzania Peaberry which was really a treat! Peaberries are a much less common roasts. This one was delightful and a little richer than the Tanzania Mbeya but still not heavy or too rich.


Jim's Organic also has a Jim's Facebook page where they share the latest info and it is full of customers comments. Here is one recent post, "As an avid consumer of organic coffee (and organic everything) I definitely wanted to give yours a try. As someone who has tried at least ten varieties of Trader Joe's coffee, Whole Foods' coffee, many of Newman's Own, Green Mountain Coffee, The Organic Coffee Co. and MANY others, I have found your to taste the best!! I don't know how you do it, but this stuff is GOOD." My sentiments exactly! I really love Jim's Organic Coffee wholeheartedly!









Jim's Organic Coffee did provide me with the Tanzanian Coffees to try in hopes that I would share my honest opinions. I received no monetary compensation and the opinions expressed are my own.

Jim's Certified Organic Coffee Tastes Great and Supports Biodiversity

I used to work at a coffee shop. I love coffee and tea and I love organic. Often, I have found that when choosing organic, it is tough to find the darker roasts that I enjoy. Not so, at Jim's Organic Coffee. Jim's Organic Coffee roasts only certified organic, fair trade coffee and they have tons or roasts to choose from.

I love Jim's helpful descriptions of the coffee roasts. Here are couple so you can see what I mean! And I think the prices are really reasonable!

Big, balanced taste with complex chocolate and spice notes.
Roast: Medium Heavy. In a word: Righteous.
$9.70/12 oz.
* Indonesian Sumatra Mandheling
Aromatic, full bodied with clean earthiness.
Roast: Medium. In a word: Seductive.
$9.20/12 oz.

With Jim's Organic Coffee™, I feel really great about drinking it because it is:
· Certified Organic by Quality Assurance International
· Certified Kosher
· Grown and Processed in accordance with the California Organic Foods Act 1990
· Grown under shade canopy, which helps maintain biodiversity, avoid clearcutting of rainforest lands, and avoid topsoil depletion
· From farms and farmers who are paid premiums to farm organically and thus treat their land, air and water tables with respect AND to sustain themselves and their communities.

Organic is wonderful. But how does it taste?


Well, I sampled two of Jim's Organic Coffee darker blends since that is what I have trouble finding. I tried roasts,Espresso and French Roast. Both delicious!
The Espresso was a deep full bodied clean flavor. Very rich and smooth at the same time. Very nice.
The French Roast was also fabulous. It has a big, full flavor that is almost velvety and a wonderful flavor and smell. Really yummy.
It is nice to know that organic coffee can come in the darker roast varieties!

But there is still more to love about Jim's. Not only is it yummy, organic and fair trade, Jim's Organic Coffee goes above and beyond in two more ways.
1. Jim's has partnered with the EPA's Green Power Partnership and Sterling Planet in order to use only green energy.
2. Jim's Organic Coffee is one of the first companies to use a sealed, one-way valve, stay fresh coffee bag that contains renewable resources. The coffee bags use a layer of modified Polylactide (PLA), which is derived from corn and comprises about 19% of its layering. The benefit of this innovative packaging is that the petroleum-based components of the structure are replaced with renewable resources thus dramatically improving the 'greenness' of the packaging.

One visit to Jim's Organic Coffee website will demonstrate why Jim says "Coffee is my Love, Organic is my Passion." You can also find Jim's Organic coffee on Facebook. Jim's has found a new loyal customer in me!

Jim's Organic coffee did provide me with the two blends to sample in exchange for my candid opinions. I received no monetary compensation and the opinions I expressed are my own.
