Reviews for Paradise Roasters

Evaluated as espresso. Dark chocolate, sweet yam, vanilla, roasted chestnut, ripe orange in quiet aroma and vivid, flamboyant flavor. Rich, syrupy mouthfeel. The chocolate and orange resonate in a rich finish and carry rather quietly into three parts milk.

Complex, exotic, gently whisky-toned. Honey, lavender, hazelnut, milk chocolate in aroma and cup, complicated by a very restrained fermented character. Delicately brisk acidity; silky mouthfeel. Rich, juicy, flavor-saturated finish.

Evaluated as espresso. Complex, savory-sweet. Sweet herb (lavender and sage), dark chocolate, rich molasses, allspice and cinnamon in aroma and more pronounced in the small cup. Creamy mouthfeel. Crisp chocolate and lavender persist in a rich finish. Complexly expressed dry chocolate in three parts milk, nuanced by malt and floral herb suggestions.

Gently exotic, roundly bright. Butter, pungent cedar, dark chocolate, ripe tangerine, a hint of flowers in aroma and cup. Balanced, juicy acidity; lightly syrupy, lively mouthfeel. Flavor consolidates in a rich though drying finish.

Briskly sweet, floral-toned. Cinnamon, orange blossom, orange zest, roasted cacao nib in aroma and cup. Crisp acidity; silky mouthfeel. Flavor consolidates in a drying though rich finish.

Complex nut notes (walnut, pecan), cedar, butter, and a floral top note in aroma and cup. Quiet, brisk acidity; lightish but very silky mouthfeel. Flavor consolidates but maintains in a sweet, gently drying finish.

Gentle, sweetly tart, delicately complex. Honey, sweet citrus, nut butter, night-blooming flowers in aroma and cup. Soft acidity; leanish but quite silky mouthfeel. Pleasingly rich though rather short finish.

Intricately sweet, delicately complex. Ripe strawberry, orange, candied nut, vanilla-toned flowers in aroma and cup. Gently crisp acidity; light but smoothly silky mouthfeel. Very sweet, lightly flavor-saturated finish.

Complex, with a savory-sweet depth. Roasted cocoa-nib, jasmine, cedar, honey, orange zest in aroma and cup. Bright, bittersweet acidity; light but very silky mouthfeel. Citrus and floral notes in particular persist in a crisp but resonant finish.

Gently bright, sweetly crisp. Fresh-cut fir, almond, honeysuckle-like flowers, lemon curd in aroma and cup. Delicate, soft acidity; silky mouthfeel. Surprisingly rich, resonant finish.

Evaluated as espresso. In the small cup complex aroma and flavor: dark chocolate, honey, night-florals, grape-like fruit, pungent cedar. Impressively syrupy mouthfeel. Flavor consolidates in a sweet though drying finish. Balanced and rather brisk in two parts milk: chocolate, cedar, flowers.

Delicately but giddily complex. Honey, narcissus, sweet chocolate, softly tart tangerine in aroma and cup. Gentle but vibrant acidity; light but syrupy mouthfeel. Remarkably sweet and flavor-saturated though slightly drying in a long, complexly developing finish.

Zesty, pungent, deep. Cedar, hazelnut, zesty lemon, honey, dark chocolate in aroma and cup. Slight savory hint in the cup. Gently tart, smoothly integrated acidity; lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Clean, rather simple finish.

Very sweet, ripe lemon dominates aroma and cup, with prune, fig and molasses complications. Bright, assertive acidity; lightly syrupy, buoyantly lively mouthfeel. The lemon carries deep into a long, resonant finish.

Evaluated as espresso. Pungent, opulent, deep. Mango, apricot, dark chocolate, dusk flowers in aroma and small cup. Full, buttery mouthfeel; richly drying, flavor-saturated finish. Dominates two parts milk; requires about four parts to fully round and plump up.

Bracingly bittersweet in structure and briskly complex in flavor. Flowers, honey, raspberry, nut-toned cocoa and more in aroma and cup. Crisp, lemony acidity; light but silky mouthfeel. The same exhilarating balance of sweet and bitter prevails in a cocoa-toned finish.

Evaluated as espresso. Sweet-toned, buttery character: dark chocolate and apricot in the aroma, complicated in the small cup by more pungent notes of anise and cedar. Lightly syrupy, balanced mouthfeel; rich, long finish. In two parts milk crisp, smooth, balanced: milk chocolate, almond, a hint of orangy or apricot-like fruit.

Evaluated as espresso. Nut-toned caramel and dark chocolate with hints of lemon-like tart fruit and a faint glimmer of fresh mint in aroma and cup.
