Organo Gold Coffee

Have anyone heard much about this particular coffee brand? Straight to the point. My mom is interested to do some business with them to sell the coffee product. It is said to be "healthy" coffee and help you to get energy. She did gave me a Latte packet for me to try while at HM class. Was alright, but used a bigger cup than usual, so was light in flavor and the energy was there. (though I think I prefer 5 hour energy :O for faster boost!)

Not too much internet information for Organo Gold other than "scams", reviews. Read mostly comments from other people though.

So I would like some input or some information from you guys if anything comes up in mind. Thanks in advance!

Pyramid Scheme...that is all.

hmmm sounds pretty dodgy. Amway but for coffee?

Besides that, you gotta look at the actual prospects of success on that sort of business. You're trying to sell coffee to people that most likely already have a favourite coffee brand.
It can't be marketed on quality because it's instant+sugar+powdered milk, not exactly a big demand for that amongst coffee aficionados, and frankly the idea you can sell one brand of coffee over another on the basis that it 'gives you energy' is totally laughable.
It's coffee for christ sake, try a triple short black or 3-4 spoons of strong instant like moccona espresso, drink it fast, 15 minutes after that you'll feel like you just smoked 2 points of whip P

I would advise her to pass over this 'opportunity' Blink

There should be a rather awesome pic here

FYI, even organic culture coffee will taste the same as any other coffee.
What matters mostly on the coffee is what type of variety is, since any blend you get is either Arabica or Robusta, or something inbetween.

If you like Coffe you all should try Panama made coffee, planted in the volcanic regions of Panama, with a very particular taste.

If any of you comes here tell me, Ill invite you to a good cup of Chirican Coffee :D

Yeah, been pretty iffy on this. I am going to tell her not to take it, but before that, going to ask few of the hospitality instructors about it, hopefully with more opinions.

is it Robusta or Arabica variety? Arabica variety tends to be smoother on the taste, while Robusta is caffeine-heavy and a bit more acid.

Arabica, though most Colombians I have met here prefer to import their own from Colombia, I can safely say the Panama made coffee is a hit amongst Venezuelans, whereas Colombians ones are more viewed as common.

"Chiricano" coffee is also sought after by people from Germany, they have a deep interest in it too.

Im not a coffee connoisseur, but I can readily admit its a solid choice amongst all the types of coffee I have come to known.

well, my knowledge only goes as far as both Arabica and Robusta varieties, since all coffee plants that exist in the world are from either, or a hybrid of both, with minute differences in taste and quality depending on the ground they were planted. But considering that south and central Americas' climate and ground are excellent for Arabica, it's no wonder that it got quite widespread there.
