This morning while opening the bag, I was greeted with one of the most intoxicating aromas known to man/woman, perfectly roasted coffee beans. The oily sheen on each bean indicates freshness that you don't get from the big roasters, e.g. Starbucks." ~ Rick, Cincinnati.

"I have been drinking coffee since I was a child. My Mama would give us a cup in the chilly mornings to warm us up before our long walk to meet the school bus.

Also, I have been telling people up here about Blue Smoke and hopefully you will get some more business." ~ Frank, Chalfont, PA

"It's easy to be a fan of such wonderful coffee. I'm sure you already knows this, but I really enjoy how the Blue Smoke coffee never gets bitter. From the first cup to the last, it's consistently smooth. Plus, I'm committed to supporting fair trade coffees. I think if people understood how much blood goes into their grocery store coffee, they would be appalled. I have my vices, and I'm no where near being as green as I could be, but I hope to do what I can when I can. Plus, this really is superior coffee!" ~ Gregory, Evansville, IN

"I just wanted you to know that the gift of your products I recently sent to my friends was enthusiastically received: The coffee they said was rich and complex, they liked the personalization, and they liked how well the products were packed. They voluntarily mentioned all these positive reactions without my having to ask them how they liked the gift. I am so pleased that I could send my friends a gift sight unseen that was so well received. I couldn't be happier with my choice that made my friends happy. With such a good review, I decided to buy some of your coffee for myself! And thank you for being so conscious about your business and your place in the world community and the environment." ~ Beverly, San Diego, CA

"Completely ENCHANTED by the beauty of the packaging and all the personal touches! I brewed some of the LeConte Blend. It is JUST DELICIOUS! The beans were plump and glossy, the aroma from the bag was heaven, and the brewed cup was just perfect for a sunny but crisp day like today--it's ultra-smooth, but bright, sweet, and I'd say almost fruity? A lovely brew! I can't wait to try the Appalachian and the Canopy! What a terrific job you are doing, and what a wonderful company!" ~ Gina, West Chazy, NY

"We received the coffee yesterday and the whole office loved it. Even the non-coffee drinkers were commenting on how great it smelled as the first pot brewed.

"Simply the BEST COFFEE EVER! Kevin, your personal coffee roaster, is just the nicest guy who provides truly unparalled customer service. Besides providing a wonderful product at a competitive price, the company is very socially-conscious and environmentally-friendly and all that. If you are a coffee lover, I strongly urge you to place an order (buy two pounds, and you get a half pound free, which basically pays for your shipping). And whatever you do, make sure to order the Canopy blend, which is to die for! P.S. No, I am not a paid spokesperson for the company, just a rabid fan! ;-)" ~ Gina, West Chazy, NY

"I got my Blue Smoke Coffee shipment today. It is just in time for the cookout tonight. I just brewed a pot of the Medley blend and WOW!!!! Thanks to Blue Smoke for a 21ST Century business model that takes Mother Earth and the customer so seriously." ~ Rick, Alabama

"Love the hand-made mug and of course your coffee is amazing!" ~ Josh, Ventura, CA

"My thanks again Kevin, for your truly exceptional service." ~ Barry, Buford, GA

"Thank God for Blue Smoke's kind of small business model in these times of corporate mergers designed to minimize competition. They also want less regulation so they can do what they deem necessary for PROFIT. Most have no environmental or social conscious. They only adhere to laws and regulations that We the People have demanded in order to protect ourselves and our environment from their "progress". They naturally pat themselves on the back for just doing what they are required to do as if they were somehow doing it voluntarily. Thank you Kevin for going above and beyond what is required. Blue Smoke Coffee is, in my opinion, a real American business model in action." ~ Charles, McCalla, AL

"Blue Smoke Coffee is like a little bit of heaven on Earth."  ~ Jeffery, Gatlinburg, TN

"Our house smells great because we're brewing your excellent coffee!! I had friends gift me other coffee over the holidays, but I'll tell you, Blue Smoke is the best. Friends stayed with us last week and they couldn't believe how fresh your beans are." ~ Scott & Janice, Homestead, FL
