The Dream Team Medium roast whole bean coffee is excellent, no bitter taste, smooth and delicious.
Wanted to show my Megatron Jalapeños they are huge! Just canned some cowboy candy! Great Jalapeño and true to the description! Will buy these again! We love visiting the store and taking the hour or so drive a few times a year to visit. So worth the trip. I also purchased some Superb canning lids they were a great price. We love shopping small shops. I enjoyed visiting the garden and got lots of Ideas for my garden next year. Thank you Berlin seeds.
Nice place if you need seeds for your garden . Canning supplies and a few other assorted things. Reasonable prices.
