Roast: Light Review Date: February 2009
Origin: Central north Yemen. Price: $8.95/12oz
 

Blind Assessment: Complex aroma -- citrus, flowers, vanilla, rosehips, cinnamon and caramel. Bright, lingering acidity, full body, silkiness in mouthfeel, with a salty sweetness in structure. Flavors of Meyer lemon, salted caramel, floral hints and berries. Toast, nut and chocolate develop in the finish, sweetening in the long.

Notes: From southern Arabia, this is a dry-processed or "natural" coffee, meaning the beans are dried inside the fruit rather than after the fruit is removed, as is the case with wet-processed or "washed" coffees. Paradise Roasters prides itself on roasting and shipping coffee only after orders are placed. Its metaphoric mission is to bring some paradisiacal warmth from the coffee-growing south to the cool environs of Minnesota. Visit www.paradiseroasters.com or call 763-433-0626 for more information.

Who Should Drink It: Those seeking the exotic; a fine example of a famous and historical origin.

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.
