Organic Coffee Co. Hazelnut Whole Bean Coffee vs Lifeboost Hazelnut Medium Roast

Both are organic, Fair Trade, medium-roast hazelnut whole-bean coffees, so the split comes down to origin and flavor style. Organic Coffee Co. blends South American beans with a medium-light roast and a creamy hazelnut profile, and its 2 lb bag suits daily drinkers who go through coffee fast. Lifeboost is single-origin Nicaraguan Arabica, shade-grown, and flavored with natural hazelnut oil, which reviewers tend to describe as a cleaner, less sweet nut taste. Pick Lifeboost if you want a traceable single origin and a subtler flavor; pick Organic Coffee Co. if you want a bigger bag and a sweeter, dessert-like cup.

• Choose the Organic Coffee Co. if you want a creamy, dessert-style hazelnut cup in a large 2 lb bag for everyday brewing.
• Choose the Lifeboost if you want a single-origin Nicaraguan Arabica with a lighter, natural hazelnut flavor and the option to have it ground.
