The Original recipe consists of 60% Black Cavendish from the Philippines and Africa mixed with 40% Virginia from Brazil, India and Africa. Be prepared to enjoy a natural tobacco smoke. You'll find it strong but gentle with a clean aroma, and the lightest touch of vanilla. At Cup O' Joes we sell it in 1.5oz pouches (as shown) as well as in 7oz cans. To view it in cans, Click here.
