The coffee beans are large and have even size. The package stated the expiration date is in June. However, upon opening the package, beans looks too oily. Not a good sign!I uses AeroPress for my coffee and inverted method most of the time. I had been making coffee from mostly home roasted beans. This cup of coffee is the worst. It's not bitter or sour but just banal and smell/taste awful.If you are interested in Kona, you might want to look somewhere else.Update:To be fair, one star might be too low. I update it to two stars for the visual appeal of the bean.
