Reviews for Ithaca Coffee Company

Deeply sweet, fruit-toned. Ripe strawberry, cashew, fine musk, cocoa powder, fir in aroma and cup. Gentle, fruit-forward acidity; satiny mouthfeel. The gently drying finish is characterized by aromatic wood notes, sweetly fermenty berry tones, and suggestions of cocoa powder.

Very delicate; sweetly fruit-forward. Dried raspberry, prairie flowers, almond paste, spearmint, a hint of brandy in aroma and cup. Gentle, rounded acidity; lightly syrupy mouthfeel. The flavor consolidates to raspberry and spearmint in the subtle, gently drying finish.

Evaluated as espresso. In the small cup impressively deep and complex. Co-taster Andy Newbom (92) cited the range and balance of sensation ("intense yet nuanced"; "awesome"); Ken (92) was more specific in his praise of a pungent, slightly savory fruit: "black currant, blackberry, aromatic wood, licorice." Maintains complexity in four parts milk: "chocolaty... completely malty" (Andy), "crisp, butterscotch and caramel" (Ken).
