Fresh Coffee Beans & Tea House

Fair Trade Decaf Espresso Blend

Review Date: Jun 2012
Price: HK $108/200g

Evaluated as espresso. Balanced, sweet-toned aroma: almond, milk chocolate, apricot. Round, syrupy mouthfeel. In the cup a pungent cedar moves forward softened by continued milk chocolate and apricot. The chocolate persists in a slightly heavyish, savory-toned finish. In two parts milk, however, the chocolate rounds nicely, turning minty and deeply fruit-toned.

Paradise Roasters

Ethiopia Yirgacheffe ECX Top Lot

Review Date: Jun 2012
Price: $14.95/12 ounces

Bracingly bittersweet in structure and briskly complex in flavor. Flowers, honey, raspberry, nut-toned cocoa and more in aroma and cup. Crisp, lemony acidity; light but silky mouthfeel. The same exhilarating balance of sweet and bitter prevails in a cocoa-toned finish.

Review Date: Jun 2012
Price: $16.20/12 ounces

Richly tart and ripely citrusy. The lemon and orange notes are softened by a backgrounded milk chocolate and hints of sweet almond and night flowers. Richly round acidity; lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Flavor simplifies in a dry but refreshing finish.

(As brewed in a Keurig B70 single-serve brewing device using a "K-Cup" capsule to produce 6-ounce serving): Bittersweet, gentle.
