Stumptown Coffee = Liquid Gold

Coffee Review gives Stumptown Coffee's Panama Esmerald Especial a rating of 91.

Blind Assessment: Cherry notes dominate in the very sweet-toned, pungently acidy aroma. Relatively light-bodied in the cup, but sweetly and buoyantly acidy, with striking and complex aromatic notes: cherry, tea rose, Meyer Lemon, orange, honey. Honey in particular persists in the rich, sweet, though slightly astringent finish.

YUM! Check out Stumptown's site and let me know if you desire some beans.
