Reviews for PT's Coffee Roasting Co.

Spectacularly and complexly sweet: honey, lilac-like flowers, candied orange, balanced by a crisp roasted cocoa-nib-like chocolate. Delicate but rich acidity; round, lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Very sweet, long, flavor-saturated finish.

Distinct, rose-like flowers and cocoa-toned nut dominate pleasingly in aroma and cup. Round, gently sweet-toned acidity; lightly plush, smooth mouthfeel. Deep, rich finish.

Finely poised and balanced. Ripe lemon, cocoa, peach, night flowers in aroma and cup. Rich, sweetly pungent acidity; plush, deep mouthfeel. Lemon notes in particular linger in the sweet-toned trajectory of a very long finish.

Sweet-toned and honeyish with peach and floral notes balanced by tart fruit: cranberry, mandarin orange. Silky mouthfeel. The peach and floral sweetness dominates in the short finish, though a bracing, drying astringency that has been tracking through the cup all along emerges clearly in the long.

Intensely sweet aroma: flowers, ripe red apple, cocoa, fresh cut fir. All carry into the cup, where the brandyish fruit ferment hinted at in the aroma turns richly explicit. Tart acidity, smooth but leanish mouthfeel. Very sweet, apple-toned finish, though the fruit ferment, pleasing and brandy-like in the cup, develops a slight composty, salty edge.

Balanced, softly complex aromatics in aroma and cup: nut, cocoa, orangy citrus, black currant, hints of baker’s chocolate, flowers. The richly tart acidity is softened by a floral suggestion; lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Deep, resonant finish with some flavor persisting.

Brightly acidy and authoritative. Citrus- and floral-toned aroma broadens and deepens in the cup, taking on a tartly sweet mandarin orange-like quality. Intense, flower-toned acidity. The sweet citrus character gently lingers far into the long finish.

Big, deep, syrupy. The aroma and flavor express the complexity of the pure coffee fruit: sweetly tart, lemon- and cherry-toned, with a crisp, backgrounded nut and fresh-cut fir, all of which soften in a long, resonant finish.

Pure, brightly balanced, distinctive cup. Perfumy, lavender-like flowers, milk chocolate, nut, and hints of plum-like fruit in aroma and cup. Juicy acidity; smooth, lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Sweet-toned, flavor-saturated finish.

Deep, sweet cherry, almost dessert-wine-like character in the aroma. Tangy, bright acidity, leanish though smooth mouthfeel. Big, sweet, concentrated fruit flavor that combines suggestions of black currant, tart cherry and lemon. Flavors persist in a rich finish.

Intense aroma: suggestions of dried apricot, raisin, lemon, toast, bittersweet chocolate. Fruit-toned acidity, lightly syrupy mouthfeel and in the cup continued raisin, lemon, bittersweet chocolate. Fruit and chocolate persist in a cleanly sweet finish.

Rich and pungent aroma dominated by sweet aromatic wood and hinting at chocolate. Fruit forward acidity; soft, syrupy mouthfeel and complex flavors of tart cherry and vine-ripe raspberry, balanced by fir and dark chocolate. Deceptively simple finish, with bittersweet fruit-toned chocolate reemerging in the long.

Bright and crisp, with aroma and flavor notes that balance honey and lavender with tartly sweet lemon and bergamot. Fruit and flowers gently linger in a long, clean finish.

Evaluated as espresso. In the small cup some citrusy brightness, but the main sensory excitement is provided by pungent aromatic wood and savory anise notes with a deep backgrounded dark chocolate. Slightly leanish, lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Lovely in two parts milk: the aromatic wood notes round to roasted nut and the dark chocolate swells and sweetens.

Delicate but complexly opulent coffee: distinctly pineapple-like fruit, flowers, aromatic wood, hints of pipe tobacco and dark chocolate in both aroma and cup. Crisp, sweet-toned acidity, lean but silky mouthfeel, long, sweet, subtly flavor-saturated finish.

Sweet and round in the aroma, highlighted by notes of chocolate and aromatic wood. Richly balanced acidity, syrupy mouthfeel and layers of complex flavors combining the fragrant wood characteristics with hints of grapefruit. Long, dry finish, dominated by fruit-toned dark chocolate.

Evaluated as espresso. Rich, fruit-toned aroma. Brightly fruity in flavor with an undercurrent of licorice and aromatic wood. Slightly lean in mouthfeel. Smoothes out in a long, sweetly rich finish. "Improved in milk," according to co-taster Andy Newbom (88), who reported the fruit rounded and deepened toward cherry and plum. Ken (89) agreed, finding hints of flowers and chocolate as well.

Delicate floral and honeyed fruit-like aroma. In the cup, bright-toned acidity and syrupy flavors reminiscent of orange and apricot fruit nectar with continued floral and honeyed complication. Long, almost sugary sweet, flavor-saturated finish.

Sweet, rich and balanced aroma complicated by cherry- and strawberry-like fruit. Continued balance in the cup; caramel notes combine with tartly sweet fruit suggesting lemon and cranberry. Sweetness and flavor outlast a very slight astringency in the finish.

Intense floral aroma with suggestions of blueberry, grapefruit, orange, honey and sweet pipe tobacco. Bright-toned acidity, medium body, silky mouthfeel and big flowery and fruit flavors carrying from aroma into cup: lemon fading to dried apricot, tangerine, dried plum, milky chocolate. Flavors soften in the finish but linger deeply and sweetly.
