Don't get me wrong, they are both delicious..I just couldn't tell the difference.
I'm probably just not sophisticated enough....Once I become sophisticated, then I'll be able to taste the different for sure!! ;-)

Many times they may actually be the same grade coffee. A store brand Columbian coffee and the "Designer Label" Columbian coffee selling next to it for double the price may actually be the same coffee with the only difference being the packaging. Most fancy packaged coffees are not grown on any one particular farm either. The beans are bought and sold as commodities from a broker or an alliance and can be from a variety of sources even from bag to bag of the same brand.
