Panama Gesha Perci Red Receives 97 Points!
Blind Assessment: This extraordinary coffee almost defies description with its aromatic complexity while retaining a classic clarity of structure. The fruit notes suggest in particular tartly sweet tropical fruit like guava, passion fruit or fresh lychee. The floral notes are almost as complex, provoking associations ranging from bitter lavender to lush honeysuckle. Additional complications include a […]
New! Daterra Farms Reserve
Extravagant crema, luxurious body with flavors of vanilla bean, dark toffee and chocolate. Once again, we have been completely blown away by the Daterra Reserve and its performance as a single origin espresso.
New! Sumatra Iskandar
Blind Assessment: Roundly rich aroma dominated by intense, heady tones of fruit and aromatic wood. Silky mouthfeel, medium body and a bright-toned, though in no way sharp, acidity. In the cup a juicy impression and notes of cedar, grapefruit and sweet pipe tobacco, all persisting deeply into the long finish. Notes: Based on the cup, this coffee […]

Barrington Coffee is […]
