Ordering Torrefazione Italia coffee

I happened to come across two postings from a year ago by OctagonCoffee and Marshall about Torrefazione Napoli a couple of days ago. My husband and I discovered it in Seattle many years ago. They were subsequently bought out by Starbucks. The stores remained for a while then closed. We were able to buy the beans from cooking.com but I just noticed that it is no longer offered. (It's like they never did.) Amazon sells it for a ridiculously high price. I was afraid that I'd have to search out a new favorite when I saw these two postings about Torrefazione on this site. We have always used the Perugia blend, which Torrefazione used for their espressos in their stores. I had no idea that Starbucks sold this coffee, so I am very grateful to have learned this. Using Starbucks' website has been a horror however and I've had to wait until today (Monday) to call them. It was a struggle even then to order by phone. Does anyone know where I might buy Torrefazione coffee, other than through the Starbucks website?

Whole Latte Love and 1stinCoffee.com both show stock on hand. Two pages deep into Google. Amazon Prime gets you two bags delivered for $19. With 1stinCoffee, you have to order a whole case of coffee.

Torrefazione lives on as Caffe Umbria. They continue to roast and may have something to match your taste for the brand bought by Starbucks years ago.

Thank you for your response. I'm really confused by the Amazon site because it has always looked to me like they're selling a 12oz package of Torrefazione Italia for $19.99. 'I would be happy to buy from them but not at that price. I will contact them to see if there is a mistake because it makes no sense. It's not as if they are showing 2-packs for that price because those are selling for 34.99 or 45.99. Ridiculous!

Nor do I find Torrefazione cofffee on Whole Latte Love or 1st in Coffee. The Gods are conspiring against me. But it is sold on the Starbucks website.

Thanks so much for your response. I have tried Torrefazione's new coffee, Umbria, but didn't like it as much. Really stuck on on their original Perugia Blend.
