Roast: Medium-Light Review Date: September 2007
Origin: Rwanda Price: $12.95/12oz
Intense, high-toned aroma: flowers, butterscotch, orange. In the cup wine-like acidity, deep body and a continued buttery, honeyed, giddily floral character complicated by tart cherry, orange and pipe tobacco notes. Long, rich, flavor-saturated finish.

Roast: Medium-Dark Review Date: May 2007
Origin: Sumatra Price: NA
Very sweet, deep, but delicate orangy fruit in the aroma. In the cup big body and syrupy mouthfeel, very sweet, with pungent grapefruit and moist earth notes. Rich, sweet short finish, slightly astringent and heavy in the long.

Roast: Medium-Dark Review Date: April 2005
Origin: Minas Gerais, Cerrado, Brazil Price: NA
Quietly but giddily complex. Fruit notes read as a sort of spicy papaya and semi-sweet chocolate in the aroma. The cup reveals dramatic floral notes with the fruit reading as orange, though still with a semi-sweet chocolate tendency that carries from the rich short finish to clean, lingering long.

Roast: Medium Review Date: May 2004
Origin: Central America, Jinotega growing region, central Nicaragua Price: $10.95/12oz
Deep and balanced, smooth in mouthfeel, low in acidity, rich with sweet wine- and chocolate-cherry-toned fruit and a resiny hint of cedar. Nominating reader John Outler applies the technical tasting term "Yummy!" to this coffee before continuing "Perfect intersection between dark and light [roast]. Not too bitter."

Roast: Medium Review Date: June 2003
Origin: Kenya, Grand Cru, African Price: NA
A quintessential Kenya: sweetly and richly acidy, the cup complicated by the crisp, complex, dry fruit notes characteristic of Kenyas: grapefruit, black currant, black cherry. The finish is dryly tart but clean.

Roast: Medium-Light Review Date: December 2002
Origin: East African Price: $11.95/12oz
A startlingly distinctive coffee: richly fruity with almost symphonic aromatics and pronounced but sweet acidity. "Best blend in the world!" exclaims the nominating reader. "One of the few blends that has distinctive regional characteristics -- in this case a lighter roast highlights and protects a wonderfully lively flavor."

Roast: Medium Review Date: September 2002
Origin: Price: NA
A Kenya in the grandly classic mode: intense but perfectly balanced, full- bodied, voluptuous with dry red wine and cherry tones, acidy without bitterness. The tactful medium-dark roast rounds the acidity and contributes a slight roasty note.

Roast: NA Review Date: December 1999
Origin: Price: NA
Animated by an almost effervescently dry, winy fruit elevated by hints of flowers. Sweetens slightly in the shimmers of the fruity finish.
