Reviews for Hunter Bay Coffee Roasters
Complex, intensely deep aroma, complicated by peach, chocolate and a hint of cedar. Sweet and high-toned in the cup, where the peach turns toward floral and the chocolate toward cocoa. Rich, sweet short finish, though a slight astringency distracts in the cup and resurfaces in the long finish.
Gently pungent in the aroma: semi-sweet chocolate, cedar, a hint of pruny fruit and Mediterranean herbs. In the cup quietly attractive structure, with a balanced bittersweetness and a shimmer of acidity, but little nuance. Clean, rich, long finish.
Deep, resonant aroma, gently pungent, complicated by ripe cherry and fresh leather. In the cup settles into a classic traditionally processed Sumatra cup: musty earth tones and tart fruit notes, tamarind and dry cherry perhaps. Reader Pat Teel nominated another Hunter Bay coffee (Kaffe Moose Drool); we received this one as a bonus.
Intensely roasty; no rubber tones but overwhelmingly charred. Rather light-bodied but dense in sensation. The burned notes carry resiny hints of charred pine and pungent Mediterranean herbs; rosemary perhaps. Reader P. Teel found this coffee "deep, rich and flavorful."
