The Coffee Beanery

Costa Rican Tarrazu

Roaster Location: Flushing, Michigan
Roast Level: Medium
Agtron: 53/60
Review Date: June 1998
Aroma: 8
Acidity: 5
Body: 6
Flavor: 6

Blind Assessment

Pleasantly full, rich, low-toned, complete in the bottom registers. Ambiguous grace notes, however: They read as earthy when the coffee is hot, but turn hard and mildly unpleasant as the cup cools. Probably a storage fault. Still, a coffee with power and dimension.

Notes

This coffee is pleasantly full, rich, low-toned, and complete in the bottom registers. Ambiguous grace notes, which read earthy when hot, but turn hard and mildly unpleasant as the cup cools. The Coffee Beanery is a franchise with nearly two hundred locations.

Who Should Drink It

Lovers of dubious Sulawesies and murky Sumatras: The low-toned richness and earthy tones of this coffee suggest certain Indonesia coffees rather than Costa Ricas.
