Reviews for Bonlife Coffee

Fruit-forward, deep-toned, enigmatic. Strawberry-guava, candied ginger, star jasmine, myrrh, lemongrass in aroma and cup. Brightly sweet-tart acidity; elegantly silky mouthfeel. Long, lingering, integrated finish.

Intensely sweet, deeply aromatic. Magnolia, dried apricot, cocoa nib, lemon drop, pineapple taffy. Tart-savory acidity; plush, syrupy mouthfeel. Cocoa-toned pineapple taffy and magnolia notes lead in the finish.

Exceptionally sweet, lushly fruit-toned. Pistachio, ripe strawberry, baking chocolate, cedar, marjoram in aroma and cup. Juicy in structure; plush in mouthfeel. Fruit floods the short finish, rings on in the long.

Candy-sweet. Watermelon bubble gum, candy apple, pineapple saltwater taffy, sandalwood, kumquat in aroma and cup. Delicately bright acidity; plush, creamy mouthfeel. Very sweet finish centered around notes of watermelon bubble gum and pineapple saltwater taffy.

Richly cocoa-toned, gently citrusy. Cocoa nib, pink grapefruit zest, red grape, marjoram, cedar in aroma and cup. Briskly sweet acidity; very full, syrupy mouthfeel. Finish consolidates to notes of cocoa nib and pink grapefruit.

Sweetly tart, fruit-forward. Mango, baking chocolate, lemongrass, honey, fresh-cut fir in aroma and cup. Juicy-sweet acidity; crisp, velvety mouthfeel. Lemongrass and baking chocolate predominate in the finish.

Evaluated as espresso. Exhilaratingly floral. For Ken (92) the flowers were explicit – rose, lily, lavender – whereas for co-taster Ethan Hill (92) the floral character was indirect, expressed in notes of peach, nectarine and coriander. Both valued a sweetly pungent sandalwood character enveloping the foreground floral/fruit notes, and both described the mouthfeel as silky but quite light and the finish bright and mildly drying. Flavor carried with perhaps surprising balance into three parts milk, softening while preserving a brisk floral-and-fruit complexity.

Bright, gently and lyrically complex. Honey, jasmine-like flowers, kiwi-like fruit, a crisp hint of roasted cacao nib. Delicately bright acidity; buoyant, lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Brisk, lightly flavor-saturated finish.

Distinct dark chocolate, cedar, roasted nut, raisin and a hint of lily-like flowers in aroma and cup. Soft, rounded acidity; silky mouthfeel. Sweet and chocolaty though mildly astringent finish.
