We all want cheaper greerns but we also want variety, this means importing from many different countries around the world. Shipping costs have risen sharply over the past few years so we either stick to a single country or pay for the priviledge of choice.
I used to get my greens from the US until they changed from delivery by sea mail to air freight. the cost became too much to be of value so I now buy all my beans in the UK. Bella Barista beans are good value in their coffee club rates but restricted to their own choice not mine. Steves greens give me a choice of what I like and my son has discovered his roast stock is to his taste.
The difference in greens and roast is minimal but their main expence is shipping from around the world as well as home delivery.
I must point out that I have no commercial connection with Hasbean but the coffee is bloody lovely.
