REVIEWS FOR:

Current Crop Brazils

By Kenneth Davids

Diedrich Coffee

Fazenda Sao Domingos

Review Date: May 2002

Bright and crisp but delicately sweet. An unusual but quite appealing combination of chocolate and grapefruit tones makes its invigorating, seductive presence felt from nose to finish.

The Roasterie

Brazil Fazenda Lagoa Pulped Natural

Review Date: May 2002

A delightfully sweet, balanced, deeply dimensioned coffee complicated by clean cocoa tones in the nose and floral and fruit notes in the cup.

Mr. Espresso

Fazenda Vargem Grande

Review Date: May 2002

An exquisitely delicate coffee. Meltingly sweet and cocoa-toned in the nose, in the cup gently acidy and crisply fruity with cocoa and pear notes. The finish is pleasingly chocolate-toned, but slightly astringent.

PT's Coffee Roasting Co.

Brazil Serra Negra

Review Date: May 2002

Slight fermented, musty tones pleasingly complicate this sweet, rich, round-bodied Brazil, reading as leather and spice in the nose, and spice, fruit and chocolate in the cup. Just enough acidity to keep the cup lively.

Rao's Coffee Roasting

Brazil Fazenda Wagner

Review Date: May 2002

Sweet and complex with grapefruit, lemon and cocoa in the nose. The grapefruit notes dominate and harden a bit in the pleasingly rich cup, turning slightly astringent in the finish.

The Coffee Tree Roasters

Brazil Fazenda Wagner

Review Date: May 2002

Delicately acidy but slightly bitter cup displays a subtle but impressive array of aromatic and flavor notes: vanilla and fresh leather in the nose, dry chocolate, flowers, and lemon in the cup.

Neighbors Coffee

Brazil Pedra Azul

Review Date: May 2002

Very soft, round, gentle cup with luxurious chocolate notes and a pleasant hint of sweet fermented fruit.

The Roasterie

Brazil Fazenda Lagoa Natural

Review Date: May 2002

Sweet, low-key, gentle. Displays muted musty/mildew tones that, combined with the essential sweetness of the coffee, read agreeably as malt or dry spice.

Alpen Sierra

Brasil Vargem Grande

Review Date: May 2002

The roast dominates an agreeably light-bodied, buoyant, juicily fruit- and floral-toned coffee, turning the pleasantly delicate acidity a touch bitter in the finish.

Intelligentsia Coffee Roasters

Fazenda Vista Alegre Natural Dry

Review Date: May 2002

Pleasantly low-key, sweet, rather light-bodied, roasty without bitterness, modestly complicated by hints of cocoa or dry chocolate.

Kavanaugh Coffee

Brazil

Review Date: May 2002

A simple, solid, rather dense-hearted dark roast with pleasing balance of sweet and bitter tones but without much nuance: slight, cocoa-toned fruit in the cup and a hint of lemon in the rather astringent finish.
