Reviews for Taster's Coffee

Elegant, delicate, quietly complex. Bergamot, cocoa nib, apricot, almond, star jasmine in aroma and cup. Malic (apple-like) acidity; vibrant, very silky mouthfeel. Harmonious, integrated, nuanced, finish.

Gently sweet-tart, floral-toned. Pomegranate, lilac, pistachio, orange zest, fresh-cut oak in aroma and cup. Crisply sweet-tart structure with delicately bright acidity; silky-smooth mouthfeel. The tart-leaning finish leads with notes of pomegranate and orange zest, supported by oak and pistachio.

Aromatically exhilarating, deeply sweet-savory. Concord grape, hop flowers, pineapple saltwater taffy, cashew brittle, black sage in aroma and cup. Savory-leaning structure with winey acidity; full, syrupy mouthfeel. Crisp, bittersweet finish.

Gently fruit-toned, lyrically sweet. Nectarine, cherry blossom, almond butter, oregano, honey in aroma and cup. Richly sweet with high-toned acidity; full, syrupy mouthfeel. Integrated finish that retains all the notes from the aroma and cup.

Sweet-toned, chocolaty, nut-driven. Cashew, baking chocolate, hazelnut brittle, marjoram, brown sugar in aroma and small cup. Sweetly nut-toned finish with hints of baking chocolate and marjoram. In cappuccino-scaled milk, sweet herb notes subside and chocolate and cashew take center stage.
