This is a great coffee but at the price I don't think I'll be stocking up on it. IMO there are many other's out there that I enjoy every bit as much but cost WAY less, such as the Yemens, Ethiopians and even some of the Kona's.
On another note, I think once I get through my current batch of roasted beans, I'm going to roast a larger quantity of a smaller variety of beans each week. My plan is to drink the same coffee for 3-4 days before switching to another. I've been changing coffees nearly every day and they've mostly all been good, but I'm hoping that sticking with one for a few days will help me recognize and appreciate the different flavor profiles better. I'm also planning an informal cupping with a couple of my neighbors. Again, my hope is to learn to break down the various flavors and nuances better.
