Terroir Coffee

Colombia El Roble Single Origin Espresso

Review Date: Feb 2012
Price: $17.75/12 ounces

Evaluated as espresso. Crisp, sweetly gentle, suave. Honey, orange, grapefruity citrus, fresh-cut fir in the aroma. Light, silky mouthfeel. Turns chocolaty and more distinctly citrusy in the light-bodied, silky cup. Superb flavor-saturated, sweetly clean finish. In two parts milk the chocolate is nuanced by ripe citrus and a deeper, apricot-toned fruit.

Paradise Coffee Roasters

Espresso Classico

Review Date: Feb 2012
Price: $11.95/12 ounces

Evaluated as espresso. Rich, deep-toned in the small cup: cedar, dark chocolate, hints of apple-like fruit and almond. Syrupy mouthfeel. Chocolate and cedar carry persuasively through into the long finish. Round, authoritative presence in two parts milk; the cedar and dark chocolate persist while the fruit rounds toward peach or apricot.

Rwanda Dukunde Kawa Cooperative

Review Date: Feb 2012
Price: $15.00/12 ounces

Tart, bright acidity complements great sweetness: rose-like flowers, honey, lime, roasted almond. Fine, silky mouthfeel. Pronounced floral sweetness carries deep into a rich, citrusy finish.

Paradise Roasters

Espresso de Tropico

Review Date: Feb 2012
Price: $13.95/12 ounces

Evaluated as espresso. Nut-toned caramel and dark chocolate with hints of lemon-like tart fruit and a faint glimmer of fresh mint in aroma and cup. Syrupy mouthfeel; chocolate-toned finish with a tart edge. Delicate in two parts milk, where the chocolate and sweet citrus notes complement one another nicely.

Linking Coffee

Opus One Espresso

Review Date: Feb 2012
Price: US $24.00/16 ounces

Evaluated as espresso. Pungent, deep. Cocoa-toned cedar, earth-toned nut, caramel, orange, a hint of flowers in aroma and small cup. All express with particular sweetness in the aroma, and persist nicely in the long, round finish. In two parts milk the flavor turns delicately chocolaty and butter-like.

Mystic Monk Coffee

Flores Bajawa Ngura Organic

Review Date: Feb 2012
Price: $13.99/12 ounces
Mystic Monk Coffee Logo

Intense, complex, unorthodox: cherry and blueberry, dark chocolate, moist fresh-fallen leaves, violet-like flowers in aroma and cup. Rich, backgrounded acidity; full, syrupy mouthfeel. Flavor-saturated, salty-sweet finish. The striking aromatics of this coffee were clearest in the superb aroma.

Big Creek Coffee Roasters

Rwanda

Review Date: Feb 2012
Price: $12.00/12 ounces

Softly pungent maple-toned chocolate in aroma and cup, complicated by a hint of flowers and a crisp apple-like fruit. Pronounced but roast-rounded acidity; lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Sweet, rich but drying finish.

Grounds for Change

Bolivia “Taipiplaya” Fair Trade Organic Certified

Review Date: Feb 2012
Price: $10.95/12 ounces

Delicate, fresh, balanced. Nut-toned caramel, orange, fir, a hint of flowers in aroma and cup. Gently bright, lemony acidity; smoothly silky mouthfeel. The simple but pleasing aromatics carry straight through to a long, sweet, slightly pungent finish.
