Roast: Medium Review Date: October 2012
Origin: Sidama growing region, Ethiopia. Price: $11.95/12 ounces
Original and complex. A pungent sweetness suggesting herb honey or agave syrup dominates, complicated by hints of night flowers, cocoa nib, cedar. Quietly crisp acidity; smooth, lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Flavor persists in a sweet-toned but gently drying finish.

Roast: Medium-Dark Review Date: October 2012
Origin: Brazil; Ethiopia; Sumatra; Indonesia. Price: CAD $9.95/12 ounces
Although described on the package as an espresso, this blend is evaluated here for non-espresso brewing. Roundly pungent, richly chocolaty. A complex chocolate sensation dominates in aroma and cup, with a savory hint of nut. Gently brisk acidity; light but smooth mouthfeel. Sweet, richly drying finish.
