J. Martinez & Co.

Mocha-Java Private Reserve

Roaster Location: Atlanta, Georgia
Roast Level: Medium
Agtron: 46/57
Review Date: January 1998
Aroma: 7
Acidity: 4
Body: 8
Flavor: 5

Blind Assessment: The strength of this excellent Mocha-Java is in the full, rich body and complex bottom. The low notes remain alive, complicating and deepening through the finish. Not much lift or sweetness at the top, however. The only grace notes I detected were a touch of carbon and some heavy pruniness.

Notes: The strength of this excellent Mocha-Java is in the full, rich body and complex bottom. Little lift or sweetness at the top, touch of carbon and some heavy pruniness. This rendition uses a true Yemen Mocha Mattari. The "Java" is an aged Sumatra Mandheling.

Who Should Drink It: French-press aficionados will enjoy this one. Should bloom in milk.
