Reviews for Royal Flamingo Coffee

Evaluated as espresso. Co-taster John DiRuocco (95) was particularly impressed by the lavish sweetness and fruit of this elaborately anaerobic-processed coffee from Colombian processing innovator Edwin Noreña. John found the well-structured and clean-finishing character sufficient to contain and balance the aromatic fireworks. Ken (92), on the other hand, found the sweetness and fruit a bit too intense and candy-like, though he found compensating value in underlying musk and sandalwood tendencies. Both tasters admired the coffee in three parts milk, which rounded and diluted the intensely sweet fruit.

Exceptionally sweet, very lactic and yogurty, strikingly original in aromatics. Candied violet, clove, rose yogurt, lavender, frankincense in aroma and cup. Sweet and complexly layered in structure. Syrupy mouthfeel. Richly sweet in the finish.
