Reviews for PT's Coffee Roasting Co.
Richly sweet, balanced, intricately layered. Frankincense, almond nougat, honeysuckle, dried black cherry, roasted cacao nib in aroma and cup. Balanced, sweet-savory structure with juicy acidity; plush, syrupy mouthfeel. The resonant, cocoa-toned finish is supported by notes of dried black cherry and honeysuckle.
Expressive, balanced, richly sweet. Lemon blossom, baker’s chocolate, cashew butter, aged Tequila, tea rose in aroma and cup. Vibrant, balanced acidity; satiny-smooth mouthfeel. Lemon blossom and cashew butter carry the short finish, while notes of aged Tequila, suggesting a refined sweet ferment, return in the long, enveloped by baker’s chocolate.

Evaluated as espresso. Complexly bright, citrus- and chocolate-toned. All three reviewers – Jen Apodaca (92), John DiRuocco (91) and Ken (91) – cited the dynamic, citrusy acidity, rounding chocolate, crisp floral hints and surprisingly full mouthfeel. Continued bright and briskly chocolaty in three parts milk.

Sweet-toned, delicately rich. Maple syrup, ripe persimmon, orange zest, roasted cacao nib, gardenia-like flowers in aroma and cup. Juicy, balanced acidity; plush, syrupy mouthfeel. The rich-toned finish is saturated with crisp cacao nib and deep orange zest notes.
Sweetly tart, deeply rich, original. Cantaloupe, lavender, dark chocolate, almond, a root-beer-like sarsaparilla in aroma and cup. Round, sweet-tart acidity; full, syrupy mouthfeel. The crisp, lavender-toned finish suggests the tart floral character of Swedish bitters.
Rich, sweet-savory. Roasted cacao nib, lime blossom, mango, hazelnut, a hint of coconut in aroma and cup. Roundly brisk, tart acidity; lightly syrupy mouthfeel. The crisply resonant finish is more savory than sweet, redolent of lime zest with a continued hint of coconut.
Deep and richly sweet. Mulberry, fresh-cut oak, peppermint, hazelnut, faint narcissus in aroma and cup. Juicy, vibrantly tart acidity; plump, velvety mouthfeel. Finish consolidates around a rich hazelnut- and molasses-inflected sweetness.

Delicately sweet and exotically spicy. Tea rose, cocoa nib, cedar, frankincense, much more in aroma and cup. Dynamic and expansive acidity; satiny mouthfeel. Rich, resonant finish infused with musky floral notes far into the long.
Quite sweet; gently bright. Honeysuckle-like flowers, tangerine, macadamia-like nut, roasted cacao nib in aroma and cup. Softly bright, quietly juicy acidity; delicately full, silky mouthfeel. Flower, nut and cacao notes all carry into a smooth, sweetly tart finish.

Crisp, delicate, sweet. Intense but elusive scent of violet, hints of raisin, almond, caramel and fresh-cut fir in aroma and cup. Round, gently rich acidity; lightly syrupy, plush mouthfeel. Fir and caramel in particular carry into a quietly resonant finish.
Slight hints of earth and moist fallen leaves enrich and complicate chocolate, apricot and raisin suggestions; the fusion perhaps suggests the sweet, fruity, barrel-fermented tobacco called perique. Despite its unorthodox aromatics, a finely structured cup: gentle, lightly crisp acidity; plush, buoyant mouthfeel; with a sound balance of basic tastes and cleanly sweet, resonant finish.

Sweetly bright; exhilaratingly floral. Honeysuckle, lavender, apple, walnut in aroma and cup. Crisp, very sweet acidity; lively, syrupy mouthfeel. The distinct apple and floral notes carry into a long, resonant finish.

Intense, juicy, massively complex. Honey, mango, grapefruit, bakers’ chocolate, tea rose, much more in aroma and cup. Big, sweetly tart acidity; full, syrupy mouthfeel. In the finish flavor consolidates but rings on, gentle, layered, resonant.
