  • Kickapoo Coffee

    Viroqua, Wisconsin
  • Organic Guatemala Rio Azul Cooperative

Roast: Medium Review Date: November 2008
Origin: Huehuetenango growing region, Guatemala. Price: NA
 

Blind Assessment: Bright-toned lemony aroma, with hints of blackberry, flowers and butter. Tartly sweet acidity in the cup, with medium body and a smoothly juicy mouthfeel. Lemon-like flavors are balanced with floral and cocoaish chocolate notes. Finishes cleanly, developing sweetness in the long.

Notes: Certified organically grown at elevations between 4,000 and 6,000 feet by the Rio Azul Cooperative in Jacaltenango, Guatemala. Although the words "Fair Trade" appear on the label of the attractive 12-ounce valve-topped can, the trade-marked seal of TransFair USA, the sole American certifier for the Fair-trade Labeling Organizations International (FLO), does not. Kickapoo Coffee is a Wisconsin micro-roaster devoted to organic and fair-trade principles and coffees. Visit www.kickapoocoffee.com or call 608-637-2022 for more information.

Who Should Drink It: Those who enjoy a lively, lemony cup.

Coffee, more so than wine, is a continually changing product. Recent reviews, whether written by Coffee Review or readers, are most likely to reflect current versions of a given coffee.
