A gorgeous bean that opens up like a fine wine in the cup. Layers of fruit come through: black currant and raspberries are clearest. Hints of chocolate and a bit of grapefruit. As the bean ages, the grapefruit moves to center stage. Some spice flavors, like nutmeg and cinnamon, emerge on the finish. Very sophisticated, bright and balanced. A personal favorite of the Roaster!

This cup starts off with a deep, dark, fruity aroma that says “sweet.” The dominant flavors that stand out are milk chocolate with a touch of hazelnuts and brown sugar. The body is exceptionally smooth and silky, with a rich, buttery mouthfeel. There is a cocoa powder dryness on the finish with a real coffee taste mixed with a light citrusy tartness. This is a very elegant cup of coffee. Single Estate.

This unique espresso blend combines top quality beans from the 2008 crop to create a balanced cocoa-musty-nuttiness with a distinct bittersweet-grilled pineapple tone. The fragrance is chocolaty and powerful. The clean, strong flavors linger on the palate and compliment milk-based drinks.

We thought you might be interested in seeing the nice piece that Don Polec of Philadelphia’s ABC TV affiliate did on Peregrine Coffee on Sunday’s 11 O’Clock News.  We love the segment, but we hope you don’t wince too much at the final shot….
