49th Parallel Coffee Roasters

Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Kochere

Review Date: Jun 2011
Price: CAD $17.00/12 ounces

Bright, high-toned and complex. Flowers, honey, lemon zest, pungent fir and pipe tobacco in aroma and cup. The acidity is gentle and sweetly tart; the body light but the mouthfeel particularly smooth and silky. Flavor carries into a tart but juicy finish.

Ethical Bean Coffee

Exotic Medium Roast

Review Date: Jun 2011
Price: CAD $11.99/12 ounces

Delicate, meadowy, complex, refreshing. Flowers and the pure taste of the coffee fruit – sweet, tart and slightly vegetal – dominate, with deeper, anchoring suggestions of molasses and pipe tobacco, the moist, fresh kind. Gentle acidity; very smooth, silky mouthfeel. Rich, flavor-saturated finish.

Java Blend Coffee Roasters

Kenya Igandene

Review Date: Jun 2011
Price: CAD $16.40/16 ounces

Bright but balanced. Tart coffee fruit reads as a crisp-toned but lavish layering of cherry, orange and lemon suggestions with an anchoring hint of fresh-cut fir. Intense but sweet-toned acidity; lightly silky mouthfeel. Sweet, rich short finish; a very slight hint of astringency in the long.

Canterbury Coffee

Resiprocate Verita Espresso

Review Date: Jun 2011
Price: CAD $44.07/1 kg. (2.2 lbs.)

An espresso blend evaluated here for use with non-espresso brewing methods (drip, French press): Distinct dark chocolate in aroma and cup, enlivened by a hint of pungent, grapefruity citrus. Lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Citrus and lemon carry into a smooth, sweet finish.

Timothy's World Coffee

Kenya AA

Review Date: Jun 2011
Price: CAD $14.49/16 ounces

Deep, sweet, and pungent with the dry fruit notes: black currant and cherry complicated by suggestions of fresh-tanned leather and fresh-cut fir. The acidity is rich and assertive, the mouthfeel heavy but slightly lean. The dry berry notes carry deep into an intense, resonant finish.

Detour Coffee Roasters

Kiryama Kayanza Burundi

Review Date: Jun 2011
Price: CAD $16.40/16 ounces

Delicate, meadowish, gently balanced. Lemon, blackberry, flowering grass and a hint of spicy nut in aroma and cup. Softly bright acidity; silky mouthfeel. Flavor and sweetness persist in a surprisingly deep, rich finish.

Equator Coffee Roasters

Ethiopian Medium

Review Date: Jun 2011
Price: CAD $14.05/12 ounces

Honey and flowers dominate in aroma and cup, complicated by coffee fruit that reads variously as lemon, fresh-cut fir, and pungent, moist pipe tobacco. Tartly sweet, floral-toned acidity; leanish, almost silky mouthfeel. Very rich, long, flavor-sustained finish.

Reunion Island Coffee

Brazil Ouro Fino

Review Date: Jun 2011
Price: CAD $11.95/12 ounces

Deep, resonant, very sweet-toned in aroma and cup. A slight hint of sweet ferment encourages a deep plum-like and banana-like fruit and dark chocolate complicated by a pungent hint of fir. Rich, low-toned acidity; lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Some chocolate carries into an agreeable but simple finish.

Van Houtte

Sumatra

Review Date: Jun 2011
Price: CAD $11.49/12 ounces

Classic darker roasted Sumatra. Gently scorched fir and earth notes hint at dark chocolate, complicated by a pungent citrus that clearly suggests grapefruit. The chocolate and grapefruit suggestions carry into a very mildly astringent finish.

Carmelo Yujra Bolivia

Review Date: Jun 2011
Price: CAD $17.50/12 ounces

Crisp and silky. Honey, cocoaish nut, hints of cedar and flowers in aroma and cup. The acidity is tartly sweet and assertive. The crisp, out-doorsy aromatics persist into a smooth finish.

Las Chicas Del Café

1971 Nicaragua Viennese Roast

Review Date: Jun 2011
Price: CAD $14.00/16 ounces

Notes of floral-toned coffee fruit read as lemon, sweet nut and fir in aroma and cup. Tart acidity with a citrus-zest assertiveness; lightly syrupy mouthfeel. The tart fruit sweetens and smoothes in a ripe, lemony finish.
