At 10:00am on March 10th, 2008, scott@herkimercoffee.com said…: Justin, thanks again for the coffees and the review. Apologies for the brevity over the pm side. Here goes the official review of the World Cup Coffees you sent me...
Ethiopian Yirgacheffe (certified organic). Light roast, edge of medium.
What else can you say about yirgs in the spring time. Sweet fragrant Lilac flower, just like the familiar tangy sweet lemon/blueberry scent of a fresh box of Froot-Loops cereal. Sounds corny, but check it out. The roast placed the acid in perfect balance which remained consistant as it cooled. A light and vegetal barleyish carmelized brown sugar emerged and sat in the body giving it a nice clean mouth feel and just a tinge more heft than most yirgies. The sweetness lingered and remained juicy all the way through the finish. This coffee made me eager to cup more Y's as the harvest arrives.

Blue Heron Blend- medium roast, edging on dark...oils clearly present.
My favorite thing about espresso blending is just that...the blending. It becomes it's own entity rather than the sum of it's parts. The Blue Heron does all that dislaying a caramel sweetness and pastel-velvet mouth feel from the edgier roast. The caramel carries a sweet berry, a hint of marascino cherry and a pleasant muted tart grapefruit. The acid is balanced and sweet. Makes me think of Kenya mixed with Harrar but I know I'm wrong on that one. The body is medium to full with great milk chocolate and a bit of roasty almond...orgeat comes to mind, particularly in the nasal aroma. The finish has a nice edge to it, bordering on sharp and minty in a good way. No brazilian burn-out here. The crema clings together great and tumbles for a nice long time. The shot also cuts nicely into milk drinks mixing with the sweetness.
Thanks again Justin, look forward to sharing more coffees in the future.
Cheers,
Scott
