Paradise Roasters

Sulawesi Toraja

Review Date: May 2010
Price: $14.00/12 oz.

A deep natural sweetness sustains every aspect of this coffee, from aroma through finish. Distinct fresh-cut fir in the aroma with hints of molasses and flowering grass. In the cup sweetly bright acidity, silky mouthfeel, and a complex set of flavors: brandyish fruit (grapefruit, ripe lemon, berry), cocoaish milk chocolate, molasses. Settles into a lemony chocolate in the long, rich finish.

Paradise Roasters

S.O. Espresso Brazil Ouro Preto

Review Date: May 2010
Price: $13.00/12 oz.

Evaluated as espresso. Rich, sweet aroma with toast and caramel notes and a smoky suggestion. In the small cup syrupy body and deep, softly pungent flavors of dark chocolate, raisin and aromatic wood. The chocolate turns bittersweet in a slightly astringent finish, but the flavors soften again in two parts milk, blooming nicely while maintaining their complexity and authority.

Green Mountain Coffee

Newman’s Own Organics Colombian Especial

Review Date: May 2010
Price: $8.49/10 oz.

Aromatically deep, with richly round caramel, toast and milk chocolate notes. In the cup penetrating acidity and flavor. Intense fruit-toned chocolate gives way to layers of fruit (peach, orange, black currant?) that soften and grow in complexity as the cup cools. Pungent dark chocolate dominates in the finish.
