Reviews for Lexington Coffee Roasters

Lexington Coffee Roasters

Sumatra Mandheling Fair Trade Organic

Review Date: Oct 2011
Price: $13.75/12 ounces
Lexington Coffee Roasters

Moist composting leaves (or maybe moist, composting rose petals) layered with a fermenty, brandyish dark chocolate in this richly pleasing but slightly bitterish traditional Sumatra. Gently tart, floral-toned acidity; silky/syrupy mouthfeel.

Ethiopia Sidamo Guji

Review Date: Oct 2011
Price: $12.50/12 ounces
Lexington Coffee Roasters

Remarkably clean-finishing dried-in-the-fruit profile. Opulently sweet but crisp: roses, nut, cocoa, molasses, black tea. Balanced, well-integrated acidity; lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Extraordinarily rich, sweet-toned, densely flavor-saturated finish.

Guatemala SHB El Injertal Estate

Review Date: May 2011
Price: $12.50/12 ounces

Soft and balanced. Sweet-toned nut dominates in aroma and cup, with rounding melon-like fruit and citrusy top notes. Crisply tart acidity; lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Simple, sweet, gently rich finish.

Sumatra Mandheling Wahana Estate

Review Date: Apr 2011
Price: $15.75/16 ounces
Lexington Coffee Roasters

Very complex, rather edgy Sumatra. Pruny dark chocolate, cherry, brandy, fir in the aroma. Quietly rich acidity; full, lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Woody, sweet, herby character in the cup, reminiscent of sassafras perhaps. Floral top notes, continuing dark chocolate and cherryish fruit. Very sweet in the finish, with ongoing floral and wood notes.

Organic Ethiopia Yirgacheffe YCFCU

Review Date: Apr 2011
Price: $15.75/16 ounces
Lexington Coffee Roasters

Lemon-zest brightness and pungent fir in the aroma. The lemony character rounds in the acidity and the cup, where it is deepened and complicated by a crisp, floral-toned cocoa. Light but smoothly silky mouthfeel; cleanly sweet and flavor-saturated finish.

Espresso Giusto

Review Date: Apr 2011
Price: $15.25/16 ounces
Lexington Coffee Roasters

Evaluated as espresso. Sweet, deep, fruit- and chocolate-toned aroma. Balanced, gently pungent in the small cup: cedar, butter, lemon, anise. Lightly syrupy mouthfeel; clean, flavor-saturated finish. Rounds and sweetens but retains complexity in two parts milk: lemon, cedar, dark chocolate.

Crisp, delicate, balanced. Lime, peach, nut and cocoa suggestions in aroma and cup. Bright acidity; silky mouthfeel. The nut and cocoa turn toward bittersweet chocolate in the dry finish.

Kenya AA Igandene Estate

Review Date: Nov 2010
Price: $19.25/16 ounces
Lexington Coffee Roasters

Richly sweet in aroma and cup; notes of dry berry, citrus and stone fruit slowly emerge and become more prominent as the cup cools. Lightly syrupy mouthfeel and sustained fruit-toned acidity. The fruit character lingers in the lushly sweet finish.

Papua New Guinea Peaberry Kimel Plantation

Review Date: May 2010
Price: $12.95/pound
Lexington Coffee Roasters

Intense, rich, deeply sweet aroma: dark chocolate, aromatic wood, a hint of fruit. In the cup balanced acidity, silky to lightly syrupy mouthfeel, and continued dark chocolate with a sweetly tart orange-toned fruit that becomes more pronounced as the coffee cools. Some chocolate carries into a rich, very slightly astringent finish.

Mocha Java Blend

Review Date: Jan 2010
Lexington Coffee Roasters

Balanced notes of pungent cedar, sweet-toned chocolate and a whisper of sage in the aroma. Intense in the cup: sherry, nut, earth and a continuing dry cedary or herb-like pungency, all persisting in the long, dry finish.

Ethiopia Sidamo Oromia

Review Date: May 2009

A graceful floral-toned cocoa dominates. In the aroma very sweet-toned, buttery pungency, flowering grass, orangy citrus. In the cup, gentle, roast-muted acidity, silky mouthfeel, and the impressive floral-toned cocoa that persists into a rich finish.
