<b><span --001a113cc5be495eed0514e56431 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable James mentioned above that his wife tried Birds and Beans and is now a fan, and I can add that although I am not a coffee connoisseur by any means, I find Birds and Beans (the two blends I have tried) to be an excellent quality coffee. In terms of price, it is a bit more expensive than Just Us, but for the amount of coffee I drink, I would never notice. I'm not sure how much Organic Earth is charging for what size bag.
