Marina (the President of the company) told me she wanted to quote my recommendations "with my permission." I never gave it. I didn't know exactly which recommendation she wanted to use, and was afraid of being mis-quoted, as is so often the case.
Also, quite frankly, I'm disturbed at the ordering process. I love this product -- I think it's incredible coffee -- but GETTING it is damn difficult. The closest market to me that carries it is on the farthest end of this State, on the Oregon border. To ship to me, they charge $10, which is the same price as a 10-ounce package of coffee! So, in essence, I pay twice the cost. To order from the company in NYC, it takes TWO WEEKS to get it. The order I got yesterday took 2 weeks + 2 days.
I sent Marina two e-mails to try to find out where my order was, but she didn't respond, and I was, quite frankly, a little annoyed. I undertand that my praises of the product were "nothing short of phenomenal" (her words), so no doubt she was too busy with all the order to answer me. When I sent a third e-mail asking for a reply, she finally did.
Again, I believe in this product, but the company falls short in the ordering department.
I am also amazed that there are so few HFS that carry it. I called my local HFS (30 miles away) to try to get them to market it, but was told a story involving a lot of red tape.
Yes, I saw her newsletter. A lot of those comments were mine, but a lot of them were not. I have to assume those others were from some folks here. I hope they gave their permission.
