Reviews for Cafe Vivo

Sweet, deep aroma with chocolaty fruit and a hint of flowers. Silky mouthfeel, smooth in the cup with semi-sweet chocolate and orange peel notes. Rich and sweet in the short finish; a recurring hint of flowers and a slight astringency in the long. As the cup cools the orange-toned chocolate persists sweetly but the body thins.

An extreme dark roast that preserves impressive depth and complexity. Intense, deeply pungent aroma: toast, smoky cedar, rosemary, lemon notes. In the cup, medium body, smooth mouthfeel, sweetly roasty, with continued hints of lemon and herb and a smoky semi-sweet chocolate. In the finish rich sweetness upstages a hint of heavy astringency.

In the aroma sweet-toned, deeply but gently roasty, with unusual lemon-floral character and background hints of chocolate and smooth, banana-like fruit. The cup displays a delicately pungent, roast-rounded acidity, rather lean mouthfeel, richly crisp lemon and background chocolate notes. The finish hovers on the rich side of astringent.
