Desert Sun Coffee Roasters

"My wife and I are in full panic. Natural Grocers in Grand Junction is discontinuing Desert Sun coffees. Your Sumatra is the No. 1 reason for us to set foot in Natural Grocers. I feel like one of the people who jogged through the desert with Forrest Gump until he decided to return home. “Now what are we supposed to do?” When we found your Sumatra, we stopped searching for a roast that is perfect for us. Please start a relationship with another GJ retailer. Thanks!"

"I’m not trying to be mean. I’m really not. And I think it’s really cool you guys are into regenerative farming, etc. But I bought a bag of “very dark roast” whole bean from Natural Grocers in Wichita, KS. Annnnnd… the smell and taste of the coffee MAY be the worst I’ve ever experienced. Y’all need to ditch the very dark roast immediately. I’m scared to try any of your other roasts because of my experience with it."

"Great coffee. Dark Canyon is my favorite roast ever. I wish it was a bit cheaper to buy and have delivered, it would definitely be my daily blend. It's my go-to coffee for leisurely weekends and special occasions. Complex and delicious."

"I love your coffees - with one exception. Your "Dark Canyon" which is supposed to be a French Roast is the worst French roast I have ever drank. Your description on the bag that it has a "tobacco flavor" is accurate. It tastes like an ashtray! Or that somebody has ground old cigarette butts in with it. I would suggest a French roast using a different bean. Even the cheap "8 O'clock" French roast they sell at City Market tastes better than the Dark Canyon. I have tried to like it - to develop a taste for it but if that's what is being served at work or at a bakery I go somewhere else for my coffee. One office that I visit frequently actually has that particular flavor on their coffee clubs list of coffees to please avoid as nobody but the cigarette smokers like it. Please take this as constructive criticism. I love every other coffee you make but this one needs to be improved."
