Anniversary Blend Whole Bean Coffee 2 Pound Bag - Cozy Medium Roast

In this review of the Anniversary Blend, the bottom line is simple: this 2 pound whole bean bag is for drinkers who want a balanced, freshly roasted coffee with clear tasting notes and ethical sourcing. Roasted by Equator Coffees in San Rafael, CA and sold under Bean Box, the blend brings together Sumatra Lintong, Kenya and Colombia beans into a medium, cozy roast that highlights cedar, dark chocolate and pear. This review focuses on flavor clarity, freshness from direct shipping, and how the larger 2 lb size performs for daily drinkers and small offices.

Key Features

• 2 pound whole bean bag: Provides enough coffee for frequent home use or a small office without the need to rebuy every week.
• Ethically sourced beans: Combines small garden Lintong from Sumatra with select Kenyan and Colombian beans for traceable, responsibly chosen origins.
• Medium & cozy roast profile: Delivers a balanced cup that keeps bright and sweet notes while offering approachable body for daily brewing.
• Taste notes of cedar, dark chocolate and pear: Gives a distinct flavor profile that is easy to identify across brewing methods like drip and pour-over.
• Roasted and shipped fresh: Roasted by Equator Coffees in San Rafael and shipped direct so freshness is preserved on arrival.

Who It's For

The Anniversary Blend is best for coffee drinkers who value a balanced, approachable medium roast and want a reliable 2 lb supply. It suits home baristas who enjoy tasting layered notes-cedar and dark chocolate with a pear-like fruit lift-or anyone who prefers whole beans to grind just before brewing.

It is less suited to those seeking an ultra-light, highly acidic single origin or an extremely dark, smoky roast. If a very small, single-batch tin or single-origin tasting flight is required, buyers should look elsewhere for narrower, more experimental offerings.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Clearly identifiable tasting notes of cedar, dark chocolate and pear that persist after cooling.
• Generous 2 lb packaging reduces the need for frequent repurchase for regular drinkers.
• Ethical sourcing and roasting by Equator Coffees in San Rafael adds traceability and freshness.

Cons

• Because it is a 2 lb bag, optimal freshness depends on storage; it may be less ideal for very occasional drinkers.
