Hi wstsider,
Where did you buy the beans from? ( a local roaster? or online?)
After you grind the beans and brew the coffee, please let us know how it all worked out for you.

I bought them from a local Arabic store! The beans come from Jordan and are roasted in LA and they get shipments every 2 weeks! I brewed my usual pour over and the flavors where a bit different then a Brazilian! Interesting flavors though!

7 bucks a pound and it has an interesting and unique flavor profile and different from any other Brazilian I’ve tried
If one has had any experience dealing with the middle east, one would know that in purchasing decisions, the only factor that matters is price. Sure they will ask for quality but only at the lowest price. As an example, I dealt with one RFP where they were asking for a grade 1 pulse and were quite demanding. Our prices were way out of line. In the end, they bought grade 4 at the price they wanted....basically bottom of the barrel.
I do know that they do this with coffee also. The farmer that I purchase Brazils from told me that his friend won a contract and wanted to store coffee beans prior to shipment in his warehouses. He refused as he was so afraid of contaminating his Cup of Excellence quality beans with the shiite that his friend had won the contract with.
I guess my point is, that funkiness in the bean may or may not be repeatable but probably is a result of a defect, whether from growing, processing or storage

When you dealt with the Middle East, RFP was made in what language? For example, if I wanted to order coffee supplies from Brazil, do I need to translate rfp into Portuguese? I made inquiries about a similar service and found https://thewordpoint.com/services/translation-service/rfp-translation-services that is ready to do this. The only question is how much is relevant for me or I you do without it. I can not find specific information.
