container half way.
3 – Quickly fill up the container with large ice cubes to the top (one part
double-strength coffee and one part large ice cubes).

We received the following email from a loyal Pura Vida customer. Thanks for letting us know Eric!
“I am a long and loyal Pura Vida customer. I purchase Cafe Kilomanjaro coffee, and think it is THE STUFF. This past summer, I purchased my usual 6 lbs of THE STUFF, and it wasn’t as good, and the packaging was different. I was disappointed. However, I got an email from you this fall indicating that you were changing things for the better, and, in October, I ordered another 6 lbs to take advantage of free shipping. Well, I just opened the new stuff, and WOW – you brought it all back, and then some. I absolutely love it, and am SO glad it is back. Thanks!”

Single Origin Coffee from Uganda
Sweet, with a hint of cherry, chocolatey undertones and a smooth, clean finish.
This exceptional single origin coffee from Gumutindo Co-operative
is grown in the Mbale district of eastern Uganda on the lower slopes
of Mount Elgon. At an elevation of between 2,000 and 3,500 meters,
the rich, fertile, volcanic soil and subtropical climate produce an
outstanding high quality Arabica coffee.
