Price: $14.99/12 ounces

Evaluated as espresso. Lushly floral and brightly fruit-toned. Jasmine, raspberry, lime, crisp roasted cacao nib in aroma and small cup. Light, silky mouthfeel; sweet, richly drying finish. In three parts milk the cacao notes fatten to a dry chocolate, the tart fruit ripens and rounds.

Gitega Burundi Espresso

Review Date: Feb 2013
Price: $12.99/12 ounces
JBC Coffee Roasters Logo

Evaluated as espresso. Pungent, deep, richly tart. Dark chocolate, apricot, roasted nut, orangy cedar in aroma and small cup. Full, syrupy mouthfeel. Flavor consolidates in a resonant finish. Dominates two parts milk; perhaps shows best in four parts or taller milk, which rounds the tart pungency and better develops the sweetness in the chocolate.

JBC Coffee Roasters Logo

Evaluated as espresso. Richly tart yet profoundly sweet. Raspberry-toned dark chocolate, orange or tangerine marmalade, crisp cedar, a hint of flowers in aroma and small cup. Full, buttery mouthfeel. Flavor rounds without losing its complexity or sweetly tart authority in two- to four-parts milk.

Mihuti Kenya Espresso

Review Date: Feb 2013
Price: $12.99/12 ounces
JBC Coffee Roasters Logo

Evaluated as espresso. Deep, sweet-toned aroma: dark chocolate, butter, leather, a hint of pineapple. In the small cup the pineapply fruit note moves forward and dry anise and cedar notes complicate the sweet chocolate. The buttery smoothness of the aroma reasserts itself in a very persistent, complex finish. Rather light, lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Very fine in three parts milk: buttery chocolate, pineapply fruit, richly balance.

Review Date: Oct 2012
Price: $11.99/12 ounces
JBC Coffee Roasters Logo

Striking savory sweet character. Preserved fruit – prune and apricot – walnut and malt in aroma and cup. Gently tart, dry acidity; smooth, rather lean mouthfeel. Chocolate, which showed up in the aroma before losing itself in the cup, resurfaces in a rich, rather sweet-toned finish.

Bufcafe Rwanda Espresso

Review Date: Jul 2012
Price: $12.99/12 ounces
JBC Coffee Roasters Logo

Rich, round and deep. Baker’s chocolate, honey, and an apricot-like fruit in aroma and small cup. Full, syrupy mouthfeel. The finish is drying but sweet, with a persistent chocolate. Three parts milk nicely plumps up the chocolate and encourages a floral nuance in the honey note.
