Were they roasted a week ago, or did you buy them a week ago?
I have no issues with Starbucks politcally. And I will defend their right to take up every street corner that has neither a gas station or a McDonalds. But I will not stand by and let them sell the world on their coffee. Much like Seattle's music, the coffee is polluting the world (except for Zoka!)...
Hey. If Starbucks didn't put out good product, they wouldn't be as successful as they are. The market demands their product. A lot of people fear Starbucks because of their perceived politics. I have no fear of Starbucks. It's a free country.
My beans are always oily, a sign of freshness in coffee beans.
