Reviews for 49th Parallel Coffee Roasters

49th Parallel Coffee Roasters

Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Kochere

Review Date: Jun 2011
Price: CAD $17.00/12 ounces

Bright, high-toned and complex. Flowers, honey, lemon zest, pungent fir and pipe tobacco in aroma and cup. The acidity is gentle and sweetly tart; the body light but the mouthfeel particularly smooth and silky. Flavor carries into a tart but juicy finish.

49th Parallel Coffee Roasters

Organic Ethiopia Sidama Wottona Bultuma Co-op

Review Date: Feb 2011
Price: CAD $17.00/12 ounces

Tart lemon and rose-like flowers dominate in aroma and cup, with the citrus turning sweeter and juicier in the cup. Lightly syrupy mouthfeel; intense, citrusy acidity. Citrus fades in the finish but a nut-toned cocoa hinted at in aroma and cup becomes more explicit.

Bolivia Cafe Alan COE

Review Date: Jun 2010
Price: $21.00/8 oz.

A deep-toned, rich coffee with round, opulent acidity and a full, syrupy mouthfeel. Tartly cherryish chocolate with hints of nut, aromatic wood, flowers and leather in both aroma and cup. The richness theme extends to the finish, though the flavor notes fade rather quickly.

49th Parallel Coffee Roasters

Organic Bolivia Pedro de Montana

Review Date: Jun 2010
Price: CAD $15.00/12 oz.

Aromatically intense and complex: layered notes of tart coffee fruit, flowers, toast, nut, honey. Bright acidity, silky mouthfeel with flavors dominated by orange and lemon citrus and complimented by softer floral and caramel tones. Some flavor carries into a rather short, dry finish.

49th Parallel Coffee Roasters

Tanzania Karmaro Micro-Lot

Review Date: Jun 2009

Co-cupper Jim Reynolds (92) admired the "spicy, floral qualities" of this coffee, as did Ken (94), who found blackberry and spicy rose in both aroma and cup. A medium-bodied coffee, but both Jim and Ken remarked on the impressively smooth mouthfeel. Ken showed perhaps a bit more admiration for delicate poise of this coffee, which may account for his higher score.

49th Parallel Coffee Roasters

Tanzania Hope Peaberry

Review Date: Jun 2009

Both co-cupper Jim Reynolds (90) and Ken (91) described a very sweet-toned aroma and pleasingly delicate acidity, which Ken glossed as "wine-toned." Lightly syrupy mouthfeel, clean and balanced in flavor, "nutty" for Jim, tartly fruity and floral for Ken. Very sweet-finishing.

49th Parallel Coffee Roasters

El Salvador Cup of Excellence #24 Miralvalle

Review Date: Nov 2008

A delicately understated, lyric coffee sensitively roasted. Round, nut-toned aroma, with hints of sweet fruit and cinnamon. Tart yet well balanced acidity, medium body, flavors of roasted nuts, black cherry and chocolate. Impressive finish: bittersweet cocoa and caramel linger.
