Coava Coffee Roasters

Ethiopia Sidama ARDI

Review Date: Apr 2010
Price: $10.00 / 250 g. (8.8 oz.)

Sweet and richly high-toned aroma: lemon, flowers, fresh-cut cedar, honey. Lushly bright acidity, medium body, silky mouthfeel. In the cup the lavish acidity registers first, followed by a softer impression of night flowers, lemon, and a cedar note that rounds toward cocoa. Extraordinarily long, resonant finish, deeply saturated with flavor.

Te Aro Roasted

El Salvador Finca Alaska

Review Date: Apr 2010
Price: CAD $17.00 / 16 oz.

Roundly sweet, deep, fruit-toned chocolate aroma. Medium body, silky mouthfeel and intense, penetrating flavor. The fruit-tinged chocolate carries into the cup, complicated by nut, aromatic wood and dried berry. The finish is long and mildly dry with the chocolate in particular lingering.

Brasil Fazenda Chapadao de Ferro

Review Date: Apr 2010
Price: $9.25 / 250 g. (8.8 oz.)

Round, aromatic sweetness, highlighted by candied nut and caramel. A delicate cup, with balanced acidity, soft mouthfeel, and continued sweet nut complemented by softer citrus and chocolate nuance. All carry into the finish along with a hint of aromatic wood.

Roses Coffee Corner

Roses Espresso

Review Date: Apr 2010
Price: NT$200 / 8 oz.

The soft, sweet-toned aroma combines touches of toast and caramel with flowers and fruit. Complete in the small cup: full body, silky mouthfeel and flavors that balance an orange peel-like citrus quality with a pungent and penetrating dark chocolate. A mild astringency distracts slightly in the flavor-saturated finish. In two parts milk the orange note nicely balances the inevitable milk-rounded chocolate.

Coava Coffee Roasters

Colombia Monserrate

Review Date: Apr 2010
Price: $9.00 / 250 g. (8.8 oz.)

Soft but complex aroma, suggesting milk chocolate, caramel, nut, aromatic wood. Vivid fruit-toned acidity; a distinct orangy citrus brightens the soft chocolate and caramel tendencies of the aroma. Rich, flavor-saturated, rather dry finish.

Coava Coffee Roasters

Ethiopia Yirga Cheffe Koke

Review Date: Apr 2010
Price: $9.25 / 250 g. (8.8 oz.)

Intensely floral aroma nuanced by suggestions of lemon, bergamot, and sweet herb. In the cup crisp acidity, light but silky mouthfeel, and continued vivid floral and lemon notes; the hints of herb soften. Very sweet, clean finish, with the flavor notes rounding toward a sort of floral chocolate.
