88	Nossa Familia Portland, Oregon Ernesto's Espresso Roast: Medium-Dark Review Date: February 2011 Origin: Fazenda Cachoeira da Grama, Mogiana Region, Minas Gerais State. Price: $10.00/12 ounces

Blind Assessment: Notes of sweet nut, caramel and aromatic wood in aroma and cup. Full body, syrupy mouthfeel and a finish enlivened by a bitter-edged chocolate and more aromatic wood.

Notes: A blend named after a family patriarch, Ernesto’s Espresso is, as the name suggests, intended to be brewed as espresso. Building on six generations of coffee production in Brazil, Nossa Familia is an Oregon-based roaster focused on importing coffee from the family’s farms.

Who Should Drink It: Although evaluated as a standard brewed coffee, this blend displays the rounded acidity, full body and aromatic wood notes that play well in espresso brewing.
