Hey Oz Bargain Community,

If you're flat chat please feel welcome to skip to the good stuff below in bold :)

I know the last year has been a little bit extra tough in terms of costs, so I'm so thrilled to be able to finally bring this opportunity contained in this deal to you. Although we're still experiencing all our normal operational annual cost increases (wages, super, rent, shipping, utilities…), there was a little gem of a saving I locked in for this wonderful community earlier this year and I have been chomping at the bit waiting for when I was able to open it up for you…the time is now!

I periodically check C market movement (international coffee market/trading, although the quality of our coffee costs notably more than this market due to the "differential…and a number of other factors" movement up or down in the commodity market usually translates to a future contract pricing difference for us), trying to spot win-win opportunities to plan for the future. A number of months ago I saw a win-win opportunity for both of us to save some money. Earlier this year I noticed what's known as an inverted market opportunity, essentially meaning a future coffee price is lower than a current coffee price. As such, I jumped on it for you and I contracted some coffee in advance based on the lower perceived pricing in the future. I haven't been holding out on you, but have simply been waiting for the shipment to arrive of Peru which included coffee at the inverted pricing locked in a while back. This deal features it's arrival and passes on those Peru Single Origin coffee bean saving directly onto you. This deal also features another one of our Single Origin favourites, being our Brazil Single Origin. You're welcome to lock in todays pricing for a single order or even line up orders for the next year at today's pricing. Please note, coffee prices have since spiked/increased once again in rapid fashion, so coffee purchased today is notably more expensive than the price we locked in for the Peru featured in this deal, which means when the coffee featured in this deal is sold out the next lot of coffee purchased will likely cost us more and as such this pricing offered to you today probably won't be seen again for some time; so I'd highly recommend reserving your pricing allocation ASAP via placing your order/s.

This extra special featured deal means you can easily save up to $395.88 over the next year via this deal by simply placing 12 separate orders for 1kg with each 1kg to be dispatched on your ideal date monthly for the next year via utilising our unique scheduled/delayed dispatch system :)

We're offering you super duper savings up to 55% off discounts on two of our hands down much loved, crowd favourite, sweet, delicious, freshly roasted coffees, being our Peru Chanchamayo Grade 1 Organic Single Origin and our Brazil São Paulo Single Origin, more details below:

1) Peru Chanchamayo Grade 1 Organic Single Origin, only $26.99 per 1kg (usually $59.98 per 1kg) and $15.76 per 500g (usually $34.99 per 500g)

2) Brazil São Paulo Single Origin, only $29.99 per 1kg (usually $59.98 per 1kg) and $17.50 per 500g (usually $34.99 per 500g)

Deal valid for orders placed until Tuesday 28/07/2026, unless sold out before. Dispatch can happen for you as near as tomorrow as far as the last Wednesday in June next year 30/06/2027.

  • Love your work

    • Morning @Captain Hindsight thanks you :)

      I'm so wrapped to know I'm in your good books, I promise I'll keep working hard to stay there!

  • Big fan been buying for a while, will you be getting back the Guatemala single origin in the future? This one has been my absolute favourite in the past.

    • Hey @leonicko that special coffee from Guatemala was a real favourite from many (I loved it too), I'm working hard to try to secure more as we sold all remaining stock in Australia earlier this year. If we are able to secure more it won't get to Australia until towards the end of the year. In the meantime we're searching for a coffee or two with a similar vibrant flavour profile :)

      • Fantastic; if you do find a similar coffee - can you mention the Guatemala so we know to get that one?

        • Sure thing, sounds like a plan!

          Terrific idea @askvictor :)

  • What would you recommend for a cappuccino? I don't like too strong and lightly roasted.

    • Morning @FunkyPants always good to double check first!

      If you're able to answer the below I'll be able to point you in the right direction :)

      1) Is your preference for a coffee that's more chocolate or caramel in flavour?

      • I would say caramel. Sweeter. Not too coffee like bitterness if you get what I mean. Just started with espresso with a breville bambino plus and df54 combo. Got the grinder finally dialed in though will change slightly for these beans again.

        Yet still not there that I say that's my perfect cup :)

        • Very helpful response!

          Hands down our Peru Single Origin should be the winner for you :)

          p.s. you've likely got your system sorted, but just in case I find a 16 gram dose works best with the bambino

          • @LimeBlueCoffee: I found that too after a bit of trialling. 18 just gets too strong. I make a 16g dose and then make two cups out of the 32-34g shot. That gives me as per my liking. Not too strong.

            • @FunkyPants: Terrific to hear @FunkyPants same page same book re:16g is perfect for your machine :)

    • What would you recommend for a cappuccino?

      Biscotti…

  • How in the loving duck can you manage to make a profit for Peruvian specialty coffee at $27 a kg??

    • Morning @redcafej haha that expression has brought a smile :)

      Only works with economies of scale, so bit of a punt, but that's generally how we operative, with a "build it and they will come" type of approach, fingers crossed everyone in the buying mood for ASAP dispatch or planning ahead via utilising our unique scheduled/delayed dispatch feature!

  • Have been really enjoying my last few orders. Cheap enough I don't bother with aldi coffee any more.

    • How amazing to hear @beefsandwich thank you so much for that wonderfully uplifting vote of confidence, really appreciate your continued support!!!

  • Being buying regularly since 2021! Great coffee.

    My most recent order went awry (courier issues, first time it's ever happened), very pleased with the swift resolution. Thank you!

    • Hey @kati WOW since 2021, what an outstanding customer you are, thank you so much for your fantastic orders and continued support, it's truly appreciated and not taken for granted!!!

      Spanners happen, but I'm glad we could sort it for you in speedy fashion :)

  • Thanks for the post. Was wondering if you have any tips on how to best freeze excess bags?

    • I freeze them in the bag unopened and have had no issues.

      Would be Interested to here if there's a better way

      • I think that's pretty much the advice - maybe chuck a piece of tape over the vent on the bag. As to whether you defrost or grind from frozen…..that's another debate

        • Hey @PirateKingJack always better to ask than wonder!

          Both @Chocobros and @Barbados Slim have given some great insight (really appreciate the answer assists). You're all good to freeze in the sealed bag, a bit better would be pre-portioned into fortnightly doses and the ultimate would be pre-portions and vac sealed into single doses :)

    • Get some double sealed sandwich bags. Portion out your beans into the sandwich bags, making sure to squeeze out as much air as possible when you seal. Then put these bags back into the coffee bag and put the whole lot into the freezer. This way makes it easy to readily identify what is what in your freezer if you are like me and have multiple different beans in storage at any one time.

      Have a small card with the beans with the bean name on your counter so your are not confused early in the morning on what exactly your process should be. Put the card back into the freezer when you swap beans for a bit.

      The sandwich bags can easily be reused.

  • Tried the Moments to Memories Blend the other day, was quite nice.

    • That's my favourite too. Too risk averse to try anything different 😂

      • Fantastic to hear @CharlieAus absolute music to my ears, thank you so much for the recent order and compliment, sincerely appreciated!

      • haha @itsfree wrapped to know that you're so fond of our Moments to Memories Blend!

        Sometime can't hurt to take a walk on the wild side and try something else, I have a hunch you'll love both our Brazil and Peru Single Origins as they are components of your much loved Moments to Memories Blend. That said it is also a nice feeling to be confident in knowing what you enjoy and sticking with it :)

        • I agree - I'm going to give it a go!!

          • @itsfree: Wonderful to hear @itsfree :)

            Thank you so much in advance!!!

  • Damn I keep hoping for a sale on half caffeinated

    • Hey @csi-lk although our Half Strength Full Flavour range isn't featured in this deal, you could just on a coffee that is featured in this deal, then purchase a small bag of our decaf and blend it yourself to end up paying the same as if it was on special :)

  • First time ordering . selected both in 1kg to try . I usually order from Inglewood / Airjo when on sales.

    • How amazing to hear @BenjaminSesko :)

      I'm thrill to know you're giving us a shot, thank you so much for placing such a terrific first combo order with us, fingers crossed you love our fresh coffee!!!

  • Trying for the first time because of the positive feedback comments. Thanks for the deal (y)

    • Amazing, music to my ears @jk0720 wrapped to know the comments caught your eye :)

      Thank you so much for placing for first fantastic order with us, it's truly appreciated and an opportunity I promise we won't take for granted!!!

  • Are they freshly roasted and dispatched , and does the packing comes with date of roasting?
    Thanks

    • Even if it doesn't have the date of roasting, they're fresh.

      • Hey @PBR never hurts to double check :)

        All our bags of coffee have roast dates on them and are always dispatched super fresh "You're welcome to place multiple orders scheduled for dispatch at various dates (delayed dispatch) to make the most of this deal, we strive to dispatch our fresh coffee within 72 business hours of roasting"

        p.s. really appreciate the answer assist @Oldmate88 :)

  • Brazil São Paulo Single Origin was a ripper last time. Sweet, caramel + choc flavours for my milk coffees. Lovely

    • WOOHOO for that uplifting, tremendous vote of confidence @harvestloon :)

      Thank you so much for your recent order and fantastic support, it really does mean a lot!

  • I've got someone who's fond of a dark/intense roast. What can you suggest from your range?

    • Hey @samba terrific question to ask before pulling the trigger!

      Are they looking for a notably bitter coffee or just a chocolatey coffee that would have no problem cutting flavour through milk?

      • Hmm, good question. We normally get supermarket beans of different varieties.. sometime the woodfired darker roast, sometimes the killer coffee co bags. They just like a "strong" or "intense" flavour (9-11/10 on the normal intensity scale on the bags) - sorry this is not more helpful.

        • No stress @samba all info is helpful!

          From our options I think our Brazil Single Origin would be your best bet, it won't be overly bitter, but has strong chocolate coffee falvours :)

  • we like both black and white coffees at home and would love to give these beans a shot!! does anyone have a strong rec on what beans would taste best?

    • Hey @chipsk8 appreciate the double check and you've already provided some helpful info, just need a bit more info to help me point you in the right direction. When you get a sec could you please let me know your preferences for the below :)

      1) Would your coffee to lean towards chocolate, caramel, fruity or a combo of flavours?
      2) Would you like your coffee to have a low, medium or high acidity kick?

      • Hey! Can't believe i didn't get to reply here, sorry!
        1. Usually Choco Caramel type as we prefer the deeper flavours
        2. Med :)

        • Haha no stress @chipsk8 my phone beeps a lot, so I often get lost in different types of notifications too :)

          Hands down, our Peru Single Origin should be the clear winner for you!

  • I used to buy from Airjo but Limeblue has me converted due to the pricing!!! Does anyone have a rec on what I should get? I used to get the Enterprise blend from the previous seller I mentioned

    • Hey @Lucioboi I'm so wrapped to know you're giving us a shot, I promise it's something we won't take for granted!

      If you've got time to answer the below I should be able to point you in the right direction :)

      1) Do you enjoy your coffee black, white or both?
      2) Do have have a coffee flavour preference for chocolate, caramel, fruity or a combo of flavour?
      3) Is you preference for a low, medium or high acidity kick in your coffee?

        1. Mostly white - I use Soy Milk for Cap / Lattes
        2. I'm more towards caramel with strong coffee flavours (I often reduce milk to make coffee taste stronger)
        3. I haven't really thought about this - What is the difference?
  • Ordered the India Mysore Single Estate, Colombia Cauca Single Origin, Brazil São Paulo Single Origin, and Peru Chanchamayo Grade 1 Organic (all 1kg bags). Roasted 19th June, dispatched 22nd quick turnaround.
    Quality across the board has been really good.
    Already finished the Brazil, which was excellent, and I'm now working through the Indian coffee, which is coming out great for lattes.
    Using it with a Breville Infuser and a Starseeker E55pro
    Really affordable for the quality. Will definitely order again, especially if there's another sale like this one.

    • WOW @alexae86 you've put such a big smile on this side of the screen, it's always to wonderful to hear about customers having such a diversly fantastic Lime Blue Coffee experience and it's comments like yours that help propel our motivation even further to make the the Lime Blue Coffee experience even better!!!

      Thank you so so immensely for your terrific support, orders as well as your absolutely outstandingly positive and uplifting feedback. Your comment and orders truly mean so much for us and will never be taken for granted :) :) :)

  • I've been ordering Lime Blue for the past 18 months - maybe more. It doesn't miss, and the price is always top tier. I'm so happy I took a risk on this brand.

    One question I do have, is why is every suggested brew time for white 20g to 18 seconds?

    Also, I remember early on some of the labels said "A Group of Owls is a Parliament" - I miss it lol

    • Hey @redbeard42 WOW what a glowing, complimentary vote of confidence, thank you so so much for your wonderful comment, tremendous loyalty and amazing orders, all of which truly mean so much!!!

      Great question. Although our brew guides do vary somewhat across products, most are along the lines of your comment for white/milk based being a 1:1 ratio and black a 1:2 ratio. A 1:2 ratio works well for milk based coffees too, but we just find that a 1:1 double ristretto it so delicious for milk based coffees.

      Fantastic to hear you enjoyed the fun facts. I quite enjoyed finding new facts too, I’ll see if they can viably work/fit in future iterations of our bag labels :)

  • Hey @LimeBlueCoffee

    Starting to realize vintage is arguably more important than coffee type. For example, I like dark choc/ toffee notes. So Brazilian is my bean of choice.

    But, in 2024 a few of us found the Brazilian SO "a bit thin". Looks like the El Nino drought had a significant impact on oil content within the bean.

    Just wondering where you are at with the Brazilian SO at the moment? These would be 2025 harvest beans yeah? I think 2025 and this up coming 2026 current harvest should be good.

    Our of interest, when does the 2026 arrive, October?

    Alternatively, what bean region do you currently have that is currently an exceptional vintage? Change is good as a holiday some times!

    • Hey @tunzafun001 you are correct that there can be slight variations across years sometimes due to weather and also soil nutrient composition variations across years. However, there hasn’t been a notable different in the Brazil we use. Also we get pre-shipment samples to test, which we only accept when flavour and technical specs are on point with our target so there’s never a notable difference with our coffees and if there ever was we’d email everyone to let them know how the flavour of the new crop was shaping up, of course only accepting if it was a positive flavour difference

      The Brazil we’re currently roasting is a 2025 crop (different regions of the world have harvest time at different times in the year). The 2026 crop in Brazil won’t arrive in Australia until later this year as it’s harvest time now. You are correct that both 2025 and 2026 (looks to be) crops have both been exceptional, so you should be all good to enjoy a delicious cup of fresh coffee!

      p.s. based on your personal flavour preference I'd highly recommend our Decaf is you haven't already tried it, the flavour should be right up your alley :)

      • Thanks for the reply, and yes, spot on, I did like the decaf flavour profile.

  • Recommendations for grind and burr settings on a breville barista express? I usually go by 18g doses with a 1:2 extraction, however I'm getting inconsistent results.

    This is for a latte on the brazilian beans. I do have the Peru as well.

    Will be ordering more from this deal, regardless

    • How's the Peru taste with milk ?

      • Hey @johnnytran without hopefully sounding too biased, it’s so delicious, reminds me somewhat of a salted caramel milkshake and the flavour cuts through milk so well!

    • Hey @starbearer always better to ask than wonder, so I’m really glad you reached out and thank you so much in advance for your next fantastic order!!!

      For the best results I’d recommend lowing your dose to a 16 gram dose as the Barista Express has a 54mm basket. There’s no specific grind setting I can perfectly provide remotely, simply because it depends on the use of your burrs and how they were initially calibrated. However, the following should hopefully fast track a delicious cup of coffee for you…stick with the 1:2 ratio and adjust your grind setting until your hitting 16g dose in:32g espresso extracted over ~27 seconds :)

  • Love the Brazil Sao Paulo, but I do miss that little biscuit that came with it back in the day.

    • Fantastic to hear @rollem99 absolute music to my ears…you’re not alone our Brazil is very popular with our terrific customers :)

      We had to stop those last year for a number of reasons, so it’s a good thing you’ve been ordering because you love our coffee rather than ordering for the biscuit. Thank you so much for the continued orders and support, it’s truly appreciated and will never be taken for granted!

  • Bought from you guys a few time and quite nice.

    What do you recommend that would be closest to a Campos Superior Blend - generally my go to?

    Trouble is I have my coffee all different ways each day (Espresso, long black, Moka pot with milk, Pour over - black, ice latte).

    Any suggestions - ideally sticking to one type of bean.

    • Hey @owwreally terrific to hear you've enjoyed our coffee before, thank you so much for the fantastic compliment!

      Sounds like you really enjoy your coffee with that diverse array of brewing methods, many of our coffee are fairly easy to use across multiple different brewing methods. If you have time to answer the below, that's be the best path forward for me to point you in the right direction :)

      1) Do you prefer your coffee to lean towards chocolate, caramel, fruity or a combo of flavours?
      2) Are you looking for a low, medium or high acidity kick?

      • Thanks for getting back to me

        1) caramel
        2) low/medium

        • Very helpful, thanks @owwreally :)

          Hands down out Peru Single Origin should be the clear winner for you!

  • Do you guys offer any options for preground?

    • Haven’t in the past, doubt anything has changed.

      • Hey @haircloudy always better to ask than wonder!

        @HamesJoffman (appreciate the answer assist) is spot on, although we don't currently offer pre-ground options, we do have some super savings on high quality burr grinders, so it might be the perfect opportunity to start grinding on demand, which should improve your coffee flavour ten fold :)

    • I was wondering the same…
      So I have to buy a ~$250 grinder from them to get their more affordable beans…

      Or does anyone know of any good deals on good grinders?

      • Hey @WorstAgreeableRadish as mentioned above although an initial expense, getting a grinder does open up the coffee options for you and dramatically improves the coffee flavour compared to using pre-ground!

        All you need to get started is a decent burr (not blade) grinder from Amazon without breaking the bank, haven't personally used them so can't speak to quality but there's a number of options under $50 there :)

      • check marketplace or get a $20 hand burr grinder

  • I ordered in the last sale and coffee was not to my liking. Sour tasting like a pickle.

    • I had a similar experience and I have higher end gear but I’m going to give it another go and see how it goes. Ordered Brazil São Paulo single origin!

      • Hey @S13 I’m so wrapped to know you’re giving us another shot, thank you so much for another fantastic order, it really does mean so much to us!

        Our Brazil has the lowest acidity kick of all our coffees next to our Decaf, so you should be all set with this order. I know you’ve got some nice equipment, but as mentioned below in this chain, the different between your current cup and a super delicious one is probably only a few small tweaks away, so if you have the time please send a reply email to your tracking info email with the query and we’ll do our best to assist with the needed tweaks ASAP :)

    • What's your process and equipment?

      • Just a pleb type portable battery operated camping coffee maker. But that is not the point. The Sao Paulo stuff tastes sour. 0 coffee vibes.
        I unluckily ordered a few kilos to get over the free shipping. I'm going to another brand next.
        If anyone wants and can pickup from Ryde area in Sydney, you can have my unopened bags.

        • maybe check your recipe and whether you have dialed in. i use 1:1 per the instructions. i didnt get any hint of sourness but i didn't like that coffee.

        • I'll let AI reply:

          Sour coffee is almost always caused by under-extraction. Brewing extracts flavors in stages—acids first, then sweetness, and finally bitterness. If your coffee tastes sour, the brewing process ended before the balancing sweet and bitter compounds could extract, leaving the acidic compounds to dominate.

          The TL/DR: odds are with the right equipment you could dial it in to get proper extraction and wouldn't need to dispose of the extra packs.

    • Hey @metaverse appreciate you taking the time to reach out and thank you so much for your recent order with us, it does mean a lot!

      Both @team teri and @roofyapple (thanks so much to both of you for your helpful answer assists!) Some coffees high a higher vibrancy (acidity kick) than others, but all our coffee are well balance across the different tastes and a notable unpleasant sourness/high unbalanced acidity does point to your shots channelling (essentially dose is too high, grind too fine or a combo of both, water escapes via path of least resistance, essentially bypassing the coffee). Great news is there’s a relatively simple fix for this. If you’d like us to assist please send a reply email to your tracking info email with the query :)

  • Hey Rep,

    I haven't bought from you guys before.
    However, just based on your responses here alone you get my business.

    You have set the bar very high for other reps here.

    • Hey @DoctorCalculon WOW that's so wonderful to hear, thank you so much for placing your first terrific order with us, I promise it's an opportunity we won't take for granted!!!

  • would be awesome to have the option to make up the difference in cart total to get free shipping! Currently $2 short of qualifying

    Not that I think any other store/business does this, but usually you can add a small item to get you there.

    Love the coffee, love the rep

    • Hey @FreeAsABird never hurts to ask :

      If we viably could reduce the free shipping threshold by $2 I promise we would have already. There’s more than one way to skin a cat, so we do have a few smaller ticket items e.g. espresso cleaning tablets or filter papers and another good method to tip you over the threshold can sometimes be just switching a portion of your order to be packed into 500g bags instead of 1kg bags. I’m so happy to know that both we’re firmly in your good book, which is where I promise we’ll keep working hard to stay. Thank you so much for all of your wonderful orders and your continued support, its’ truly appreciated!

  • Cant remember the last time I got lime blue but remember it was an amazing deal. good to see you are still supplying aficionados (or addicts) the country over.

    • Hey @abuch47 such fantastic feedback to recieve, thank you so much for the well wishes and uplifting, positive vote of confidence!

      Fingers crossed this deal's caught your eye enough to get you back on our fresh coffee :)

      • it certainly did! 4kg coming on the 20th

        • WOW @abuch47 that's so amazing!!!

          Thank you ao much for that incredible order, it really does meab so much :)

  • Hello OP. Big fan and long time customer particularly the Columbian single origin and generally enjoy Columbian beans at cafes if they are available. I tried your Brazil ones in Feb but cannot remember what they were like. I drink mine with milk. Are you able to give a brief comparison between the Brazil and Columbian please? Deciding which to get next. I have a feeling the Brazilian became cold brew because my coffee machine was in for/repairs.

    • Hey @Chaffingbuttocks thank you so sincerely for your long-time, ongoing support and order, it's truly appreciated and I'm so wrapped to know how much you've been enjoying our fresh coffee!!!

      Sure thing. With our Brazil think milk chocolate coffee notes, lots of sweetness, with a lower acidity kick similar to the levels of a pink lady apple. Works really well for both black and milk based coffees, if I had to pick I'd say it's a stand out for milk based coffees. With regard to our Colombia think more of a fruity coffee leaning towards blackcurrant, but it's not too fruity as to be a wild fruity bomb, so approachably fruity, it's a fairly vibrant coffee with a medium to high acidity kick to a similar level of a green granny smith apple, works really well for both black and milk based coffees, but if I had to pick I'd say it's a real stand out as a black coffee. Hope this helps, please feel welcome to ask any further questions :)

      • Thank you. It probably confuses me more but I'll get some of each again and go from there. Cheers

        • Haha oh no, looks like I've got work to do on my answering skills!

          Thank you so much for that terrific combo order, it's truly appreciated :)

  • @LimeBlueCoffee when I freeze the coffee beans specifically the Peru, I get very little creama when I come to use it. Frozen for about two months. Is that normal?

    Also can I reuse your coffee bags when I proportion for freezing for my next batch using a different flavor? I was thinking they should be better than a zip lock. There is a very strong coffee smell in the bag (not aromatic like fresh coffee beans, more like coffee sitting out for too long), worried it will contaminate. I tried rinsing the bag and air dry, smell still there.

    • Hey @roofyapple really appreciate you taking the time to reach out and thank you so much for your existing and soon to be new order/s, they are so sincerely appreciated and aren’t something we take for granted :)

      Great questions, always a good idea to double check. So little crema happens for three primary reasons. First, the coffee is stale, but as you’ve been freezing it that risk is nullified. Second, freezer burn, if the coffee isn’t stored properly in your freezer the CO2 can become so low that you won’t see much crema. Third, when a shot is channelling (essentially grind is too fine, dose too high or both, coffee finds the extraction path of least resistance with the water essentially bypassing the coffee). As you’ve mentioned you’ve only noticed this with the Peru there is a chance of the second reason, but more likely given it’s only a one coffee most likely the third reason being that Peru is channelling. Good news is that’s a simple fix, just a tweak of your grinder settings and you should be all set!

      When new, you are correct that they are better than a zip lock. However, I 100% wouldn’t recommend reusing (whether you wash it or not) simply because that’s not how the bags are designed to be used and there’ll always be residual coffee traces from the original coffee, so when those traces get stale the bag will smell as such and as coffee is porous your new fresh coffee will be impacted by the traces of older coffee. I’d recommend with ordering in 500g bags so they’re already somewhat pre-portioned, getting a vac seal container or even just zip lock bags :)

  • Thanks for another great deal Tom.

    Just to check with the other users, i can't see a good way now to get to free shipping with the current beans deal without buying 4kg. (used to be a lower amount for free shipping so 3kg used to just make it)

    • It used to be $69 for free shipping, but went up to $99 back in November. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/929606

      • Hey @kulprit thank you so much for the compliment, I’m wrapped to know this deal’s a real winner for you!

        @baptist1611 (really appreciate the answer assist) is correct, our free shipping threshold increased last year (we made a lengthy post deal as to the reasons in October to ensure everyone had ample time to lock in orders before the free shipping threshold had to increase). Good news for you is that you can still tip over the free shipping threshold via the deal by ordering 3kg, all you need to do is order 3kg of our Brazil Single Origin packed into 500g bags AKA order 6x500g of our Brazil Single Origin and you’ll unlock free shipping :)
