Multi-layered, wide-ranging. Salted caramel, tangerine, lemon-thyme, cedar, magnolia in aroma and cup. Sweet structure with high-toned acidity; plush, syrupy mouthfeel. Resonant finish centers around notes of tangerine and caramel.
Deeply aromatic, complex, multi-layered. Star jasmine, petrichor, almond nougat, sandalwood, white peach in aroma and cup. Sweet-savory structure with bold, juicy acidity; luscious, silky mouthfeel. The softly round finish evokes almond nougat and star jasmine with a delicately earthy suggestion.
Crisply sweet, chocolaty. Dark chocolate, smoky cedar, prune, gardenia, cashew in aroma and cup. Bittersweet structure with virtually no perceptible acidity; lean, gently drying mouthfeel. The finish centers around notes of dark chocolate and smoky cedar.
Evaluated as espresso. Sweet, odd, earth-toned. Caramel, orange, pecan, a hint of dark chocolate and a lot of fruit-scented earth--think fallen oranges in a citrus grove--in aroma and small cup. Fluffy mouthfeel. Chocolate comes forward in a sweet though drying finish. Three parts milk further develops the chocolate, while the earth notes persist, particularly in the finish.
Complex, multi-layered, crisply sweet-tart. Apricot, almond, honeysuckle, oak, maple syrup in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart structure with juicy, bright acidity; viscous, syrupy mouthfeel. Resonant, flavor-saturated finish that consolidates to apricot and oak in the long.
Richly sweet, subtly earth-toned, lightly roasty. Distinct dark chocolate, black cherry, fresh-turned loam, cedar, freesia-like flowers in aroma and cup. Sweet-tart in structure, with a savory bottom. Lightly syrupy mouthfeel. The loamy earth notes and dark chocolate dominate in a very sweet, layered finish.
Sweet-toned, richly savory. Baker’s chocolate, hazelnut butter, narcissus, date, fresh-cut fir in aroma and cup. Sweet-savory structure with rounded, gentle acidity; satiny-smooth mouthfeel. The finish consolidates to baker’s chocolate and aromatic wood notes, with a hint of narcissus-like flowers.
Deeply sweet, richly earth-toned. Dark chocolate, candy cap mushroom, gardenia, black cherry, grapefruit zest in aroma and cup. Balanced, sweet-savory-tart structure with vibrant acidity; full, syrupy mouthfeel. The crisp, flavor-saturated finish centers around sweet fruit and floral notes and an intriguing savory inclination.
Deeply and sweetly pungent; floral-toned. Narcissus, nougat, sandalwood, grapefruit zest, moist, freshly fallen leaves in aroma and cup. Crisp, sweet-tart acidity; plush, syrupy mouthfeel. The deep, savory-edged finish conjures fine sandalwood incense with sweet floral undertones.
Evaluated as espresso. Deep, cedary and chocolaty. Dark chocolate, fresh-cut cedar, moist tobacco, a hint of lily-like flowers in aroma and small cup. Lean but smooth mouthfeel. Cedar dominates in a dry finish. Crisply dry chocolate nuanced by lily and fresh tobacco in three parts milk.
Sweetly crisp, unusual and striking flavor and aroma. Pecan, chocolate, black-cherry-like fruit in aroma and cup, moist pipe tobacco in aroma. Quiet but lively acidity; silky mouthfeel. Flavor consolidates and sweetness persists in a balanced finish.
A strikingly distinctive coffee that suffers a bit in the finish. Splendid aroma: sweetly and deeply pungent, with floral, chocolate and pipe tobacco notes. In the cup low-toned but vibrant acidity, crisply nut-like with distinct orange notes. The nut notes turn very slightly stiff and dusty in the finish.
Crisp, wine- and cherry-toned fruit dominate in both aroma and cup. A delicate mustiness reads as leather and sweet pipe tobacco. The rather heavy finish lightens and sweetens as the cup cools.
Low-key, pungent aroma laced with cocoa and caramel. Sweet in the cup with enveloping bottom notes of overripe fruit and sweet humus. Surprising floral notes in the finish.
The aroma is high-toned but pungent, laced with caramel, cantaloupe and leather. In the cup a sweet, wine-toned fruit leads, with richly malty, bracingly bitter tones opening up behind. The bitterness dissolves in the long, clean, chocolate-toned finish.
Opens with a very sweet, very intense but balanced aroma complicated by apples and flowers. In the cup the gentle acidity subordinates itself to a melodic sweetness and a rich, deeply dimensioned chocolate- and apple-toned fruit. Lyric and seductive.
Delicate apple, leather, and milk chocolate notes in the sweet, mid-toned aroma. The cup is explicit in its clear chocolate notes, complicated by dry fruit tones that suggest raisins or dates. Substantial body and a sweet, clean finish.
This coffee provides about half the virtue of a great Sumatra: the full body and low-toned profile are here, but the vibrant dimension and complex nuance are missing. The cup is a bit monotoned and heavy rather than rich. Some bittersweet chocolate in the finish.
Exquisitely balanced cup. Delicately acidy and sweet with clean, high-toned fruit that nods gently at chocolate. Restrained yet complex; precious. Green buyer Carl Leonard finds this coffee "exhibits all the best attributes [that this] origin should deliver."
Reader Ben Anderson calls this coffee "fantastic." That familiar adjectivefreshens up when applied to Sulawesi coffees, whose unexpected forest and fruit notes often doseem to express a sort of adventurous coffee fantasy. When hot, this Sulawesi displayed a richcup with a fine balance of acidity, sweetness and roastiness plus - the Sulawesi factor - carnally rich fruit notes reminiscent of cantaloupe. I started with a rating of over 90, but as the cup cooleda slight salty astringency in the finish lowered my assessment.
