That's probably because it comes from Central America, ethically sourced from local farmers. It's MAYORGA and it comes in medium and dark roast. I prefer the dark roast. It's always been a little pricey, but since I'm the only one drinking it, who cares? It's the best coffee out there! I introduced my brother and SIL to it (they love in Montana, no Costco there) and now she orders it online!
