I ordered a sample of the whole beans and was looking forward to trying this one. I had the bag in my 'fridge for a while, which may account for the condition of the beans when I finally opened the bag. I started to put them in my coffee grinder but they were so oily that I was afraid they'd damage the grinder, so I threw the whole batch out without grinding. There's now an oily residue in my grinder that I'm trying to get rid of but it's clinging stubbornly. There's also a strong lingering scent from the beans that's so overpowering it makes me a little nauseous...
