Low in acidity, with a sweet, mildly fermented fruit that struck me as a bit too cloyingly sweet (banana-ish fruit, cut flowers past their prime) in the aroma, but cleaner and more attractive in the cup (banana, slightly fresher flowers, syrupy mouthfeel) and especially in a rich, fruity, if mildly astringent finish.
This Colombia coffee was produced by some of the 600,000-plus members of the National Federation of the Coffee Growers of Colombia, an association of mostly small-holding Colombian growers whose reliably good-quality coffee, community support programs and sophisticated marketing campaigns around the Juan Valdez symbol together constitute one of the great successes of coffee history. That said, this is not a classic Colombia but an interestingly flawed version that also happens to be a remarkable bargain. At Costco in Northern California, $7.99 per 48-ounce can ground, or 16 cents per ounce. Costco is a membership-only wholesaler and retailer with stores in most areas of the United States.

What is Kirkland Colombian?
As a multigenerational family, I used to spend much more for premium branded coffee until I found Kirkland Colombian. This is our daily go to “pot of coffee”. It is consistent in flavor, price and willl stand it’s found against other name branded coffee options. By far this is the best coffee ever made. The flavor is so smooth.
