First Impressions
Organic Velvet Moon is a medium-dark roast, and the depth of flavor shows from the first sip. It tastes rich without any bitterness, even as the cup cools.
It did not give us the velvety body we look for in espresso or an americano. It did much better in a drip brewer, a French press and cold brew, where that richness came through clean.
What’s in the Blend
Cameron’s blends organic Arabica beans from four origins. Peru and Honduras supply high-elevation beans from farming cooperatives, and the Nicaraguan beans come from three growing regions, including the Siles Plantation. Beans from Aceh Province in Sumatra add earthy tones, low acidity and body.
Every bean is certified specialty grade Arabica. The blend is USDA Organic, certified by MCIA, and Kosher Parve. Cameron’s roasts in small batches with a method it calls Precision Air Roasting, which it says roasts the beans without scorching them. Cameron’s does not publish roast, body or brightness scores for this blend.
Drawbacks
- The Amazon listing for the 32 oz bag had no seller in September 2026. Costco is the practical place to buy it.
- It is not the best pick for espresso. The body is lighter than we want in a shot.
- Cameron’s says its coffee bags are not recyclable.
- Two pounds is a lot of whole bean coffee for one drinker. Cameron’s recommends an airtight container at room temperature and advises against the fridge or freezer.
Who It Is For
Organic Velvet Moon suits drinkers who want an organic coffee that tastes rich and smooth without bitterness. The 32 oz bag also fits an office or a household that brews a full pot every morning.
