Reviews for Coffea Roasterie

Coffea Roasterie

Guatemala Finca La Esperanza Pacamara COE 7

Review Date: May 2013
Price: $12.75/8 ounces

Balanced structure, complex and rather unusual aromatics. Orangy citrus, butter, roasted nut, lush flowers, a hint of sweet chocolate in aroma and cup. Crisp, juicy acidity; lightly syrupy, lively mouthfeel. The finish is gently rich, buttery, sweet-toned.

Coffea Roasterie

Coffea Espresso Guatemala Los Olivos

Review Date: Jan 2013
Price: $15.75/12 ounces

Evaluated as espresso. In the small cup, richly and roundly bright without sharpness. Orange, apricot, dark chocolate, hints of fir and night-blooming flowers. Body is medium in weight but impressively velvety in texture. Flavor carries nicely into a sweet finish. In two parts milk delicately and briskly chocolaty with backgrounded hints of fir and fruit.

Review Date: Oct 2012
Price: $17.25/12 ounces

Intense, original, complex. Fresh-cut cedar, grape, blueberry, brandy, roasted cocoa nib in the exhilarating aroma and flavor. Dry, berry-toned acidity; silky mouthfeel. Flavor resolves toward a fruit-toned chocolate in a long finish.

Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Kochere Grade 1

Review Date: Jul 2012
Price: $16.25/12 ounces

Sweet-toned, delicate, lyrically bright. Distinct rose-like floral notes, orange, green apple, cocoa, almond in aroma and cup. Crisp, lively but balanced acidity; silky to lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Despite the delicacy of the cup, deep- and rich-finishing.

Rwanda Dukunde Kawa Cooperative

Review Date: Feb 2012

Tart, bright acidity complements great sweetness: rose-like flowers, honey, lime, roasted almond. Fine, silky mouthfeel. Pronounced floral sweetness carries deep into a rich, citrusy finish.

Coffea Roasterie

Ethiopia Gedeo Natural Process

Review Date: Dec 2011
Price: $18.00/12 ounces

Lushly sweet and honeyish but very complex across a range of sensation. On the sweet side, plum, blueberry and citrus flower; on the pungent, pine and tart lemon. A minty, brandyish dark chocolate fills in the middle. Balanced, juicy acidity; syrupy yet lively mouthfeel. Simplifies just a bit in the finish, though a chocolaty sweetness manages to soften a lean toward drying astringency in the long.

Coffea Roasterie

Kenya Karatu AA

Review Date: Sep 2011
Price: $29.95/12 ounces

Sonorously bright acidity and lush yet delicate aroma and flavor: flowers, orange, nut, fresh-cut fir with a rounding hint of milk chocolate. Silkily smooth mouthfeel. The finish is sweet but crisp, dominated by an orangy chocolate.

Coffea Roasterie

Guatemala El Injerto

Review Date: Jun 2011
Price: $14.95/12 ounces

Delicately crisp, cocoa and nut character brightened by floral and lemon notes. Gentle, complexly expressed acidity; light body, silky mouthfeel. As the cup cools the flavor deepens toward apricot and moist pipe tobacco, carrying into a rich finish.

Coffea Roasterie

Burundi Kayanza Kiryama Micro Lot

Review Date: Apr 2011
Price: $15.75/12 ounces

Round notes of cherry and tea rose in the aroma. Gentle fruit-toned acidity, lightly syrupy mouthfeel and delicate yet deep flavors that continue the spicy floral aromatic theme with complications of plum, cherry and sweet chocolate. Chocolate in particular is sustained in the sweet-toned finish.

Coffea Roasterie

Ethiopia Nekisse Espresso

Review Date: Dec 2010
Price: $37.95/12 ounces

Notes of tea rose, honey and orange in the aroma. Long, sustained flavors in the small cup, displaying a deeper, more complex variation of the aroma profile (including brandied fruit, flowers and chocolate) with the flavors persisting in the long, sweet-toned finish. Lean but smooth mouthfeel. Retains impressive complexity in two parts milk: lemon and flowers softly layered on deeper chocolate, nut and caramel tones.

Coffea Roasterie

Ethiopia Michicha Guji Sidama

Review Date: Nov 2010
Price: $15.95/12 oz.

Understated floral-toned aroma unfolds dramatically in the cup with a rich cherry- and wine-like fruit and deepened floral notes. The acidity is particularly impressive, alive with wine and citrus hints. Lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Flavor retains great presence and complexity in the long, resonant finish.

Coffea Roasterie

Ethiopia Nekisse

Review Date: Aug 2010
Price: $37.95/12 oz.

Extraordinary dried-in-the-fruit profile. Lushly fruit-toned and brandyish, yet crisp with savory wood notes. Blueberry, cherry, brandy-nuanced dark chocolate, aromatic wood, night flowers in aroma and cup, carrying into the finish. A slight hint of salt in the finish as well, but the fruit-and-brandy sweetness rings on.

Coffea Roasterie

Dominican Republic Las Lagunas

Review Date: Mar 2010
Price: $14.25 / 12 oz.

Sweet, deep-toned, balanced coffee. Chocolate, citrus, nut and a hint of flowers in the aroma. In the cup richly rounded acidity, buttery mouthfeel. The soft citrus notes are more prominent in the cup, with continued complications of chocolate, nut and a bare suggestion of flowers. The citrus in particular carries into a resonant finish.
