The single origin coffee line-up is truly impressive. I've had Bali Blue and it is easily the best medium-dark roasted coffee I've had in a long time. I knew it was genuine craft coffee the moment I opened the bag.

I'm looking forward to trying more of Willow Creek Coffee Company's options from this line-up. If they are anything like the quality of Bali Blue, I'm excited to try it!

Thank you so much — this genuinely made our day! Bali Blue is one of our favorites too; there's something about that natural processing from the Kintamani Highlands that gives it that unmistakable depth. We're so glad it came through from the first open of the bag — that's exactly the experience we craft for. We can't wait for you to explore the rest of the single origin lineup. Each one has its own story to tell. Welcome to the Willow Creek family!

This tea exceeded my expectations. I have had Hibiscus tea before and liked it but this one was so much better than any that I have had before. The flavor profile was so much more. The hint of berries in this tea take it to a whole new dimension. I am a fan!

Thank you so much — this is exactly what we hoped to hear! Our Hibiscus tea is something we're really proud of; that natural berry complexity sets it apart from what most people expect from a hibiscus. Once you taste that depth, it's hard to go back to anything else. So glad you're a fan — welcome to the Willow Creek family, and we hope to have you exploring more of our tea lineup soon!

So flavorful & relaxing, I love it. I think this is the best Apple Cider tea that I have ever had.

Thank you so much — 'flavorful and relaxing' is exactly the experience we designed our Apple Cider tea to deliver. Knowing it's the best you've ever had is high praise and we don't take that lightly. We hope it becomes a staple in your daily routine. Enjoy every cup!

Medium-dark roasts are my favorite and this one does not disappoint. I am glad I found this and will reorder in the future for certain.

Thank you! Medium-dark is such a rewarding roast range and we're glad Bali Blue hit the mark for you. Knowing you'll be back means the world to us — and when you're ready to reorder, don't forget to explore the rest of our single origin lineup. Each one is worth the journey. See you soon!
