REVIEWS FOR:

Central America Coffees

By Kenneth Davids
June 1st, 2000

95

Dawson Taylor Coffee Roasters

Finca La Tacita

Review Date: Jun 2000

Irrepressibly buoyant, superbly balanced. The acidity shimmers in the heart of a meadow of floral-toned sweetness. The aftertaste is clean, long, lavender. Exquisite, elegant, precious.

Thanksgiving Coffee

Boquete Region Panamanian Coffee

Review Date: Jun 2000

Powerful yet smooth and sweetly balanced. The acidity is round and ripe. High-toned fruit -- pears perhaps -- deepen toward roasty dry prune and bittersweet chocolate in the finish.

Sunrise Coffee

El Salvador

Review Date: Jun 2000

Classic, clean, complete, elegantly powerful. The acidity sings rather than stings: It is bright yet full-toned and winy. The aftertaste is richly dry without sharpness.

Seattle's Best Coffee

Costa Rica Taparto

Review Date: Jun 2000

A big, centered, complete Central-America- style coffee. Brightly acidy in the upper ranges, richly sweet in the lower, with hints of flowers and cedar in the nose and distinct chocolate in the finish. Displayed its true character as it cooled -- rather than falling apart, it opened up, revealing still more nuance.

The Roasterie

Panama – Baru Estate

Review Date: Jun 2000

A classic Central-America coffee dominated by a richly powerful acidity, a fat body, and a round, sweet, chocolaty finish.

Panama La Torcaza

Review Date: Jun 2000

Medium bodied, high-toned but smooth, a quintessential American cup, from the vanilla-nut, sweetly acidy nose to the long swoon of the chocolaty finish.

Dean & Deluca

House Blend

Review Date: Jun 2000

Agreeably balances roast pungency and classic high-grown acidity. The roast rounds the acidity and turns the fruit richly dry.

Premier Roasters

Guatemalan Antigua

Review Date: Jun 2000

The essence of brisk: a light, bright, acidy cup. Dry tones dominate the sweet undercurrents. A shimmer of flowers, a wisp of smoke, a hint of tart, winey fruit. Pleasant but thinly dimensioned.

Thanksgiving Coffee

Nicaraguan Maragogipe Light Roast

Review Date: Jun 2000

A coffee that requires patience. The aroma is rather flat, the cup smoothly full but inert. A pleasant chocolate sensation surprises in the finish, however, and the aftertaste is sweet, rich and long.

Raven's Brew Coffee

El Salvador Borbollon

Review Date: Jun 2000

The rather aggressive roast drives off nuance and sweetness, but the cup stays on the pleasantly pungent side of charred. A twist of acidity, some flowers and a hint of dry, pruny fruit survive the roast.
