Reviews for Josuma Coffee

A sweet mustiness and a hint of fruit ferment read convincingly as caramel, perhaps dark chocolate, complicated by dry aromatic wood notes. Rounded acidity, medium body. The rich finish borders on heavy, but the flavor notes prolong nicely.

In the aroma sweetly pungent, rich but delicate, complicated by low-toned fruit suggesting ripe apricots. The lovely aromatics are slightly less impressive in the cup, where they are dominated by a sharp bittersweetness. Slightly astringent in the finish.

In the small cup full and buttery in body, in flavor grainy, sharply malty/musty, with dry, pleasing cherry-like fruit notes. Cappuccino-quantities of milk sweeten the profile, accentuating the fruit and turning the grainy tones pleasantly nut-like. At its best in big milk, where it its fat, buttery body masters the dairy with pure weight and character rather than with bitterness. (86 straight espresso, 90 w/milk)
