James mentioned above that his wife tried Birds and Beans and is now a fan,
and I can add that although I am not a coffee connoisseur by any means, I
find Birds and Beans (the two blends I have tried) to be an excellent
quality coffee. In terms of price, it is a bit more expensive than Just Us,
but for the amount of coffee I drink, I would never notice. I'm not sure
how much Organic Earth is charging for what size bag.
