Bright and crisp but delicately sweet. An unusual but quite appealing
combination of chocolate and grapefruit tones makes its invigorating, seductive presence felt from
nose to finish. | ![]() |
A delightfully sweet, balanced, deeply dimensioned coffee complicated by
clean cocoa tones in the nose and floral and fruit notes in the cup.

An exquisitely delicate coffee. Meltingly sweet and cocoa-toned in the nose, in
the cup gently acidy and crisply fruity with cocoa and pear notes. The finish is pleasingly
chocolate-toned, but slightly astringent.

Slight fermented, musty tones pleasingly complicate this sweet, rich, round-
bodied Brazil, reading as leather and spice in the nose, and spice, fruit and chocolate in the cup.
Just enough acidity to keep the cup lively.

Sweet and complex with grapefruit, lemon and cocoa in the nose. The
grapefruit notes dominate and harden a bit in the pleasingly rich cup, turning slightly astringent
in the finish. | ![]() |
Delicately acidy but slightly bitter cup displays a subtle but impressive array
of aromatic and flavor notes: vanilla and fresh leather in the nose, dry chocolate, flowers, and
lemon in the cup. | ![]() |
Very soft, round, gentle cup with luxurious chocolate notes and a pleasant hint
of sweet fermented fruit.

Sweet, low-key, gentle. Displays muted musty/mildew tones that, combined
with the essential sweetness of the coffee, read agreeably as malt or dry spice. | ![]() |
The roast dominates an agreeably light-bodied, buoyant, juicily fruit- and
floral-toned coffee, turning the pleasantly delicate acidity a touch bitter in the finish.
| ![]() |
Pleasantly low-key, sweet, rather light-bodied, roasty without bitterness,
modestly complicated by hints of cocoa or dry chocolate.
| ![]() |
A simple, solid, rather dense-hearted dark roast with pleasing balance of sweet and bitter tones but without much nuance: slight, cocoa-toned fruit in the cup and a hint of lemon
in the rather astringent finish. | ![]() |
