Coffee rating
BOARDMAN
Branch Street Coffee Roasters, 1393 Boardman-Canfield Road, has been awarded a 94-point rating by Coffee Review for its current offering of Kenya AA Gura Auction Lot.
Coffee Review was founded in 1997 and awards ratings to roasted coffee.
Coffee Review has been the authority on graded coffee for 20 years and is nationally recognized as the industry standard for grading roasted coffee.
Branch Street was awarded the 94-point rating for its roasting of an exclusive coffee from Kenya, which will be available for only a short time because of its scarcity and popularity.
Branch Street received a 92-point rating with its Ethiopian Hambela Natural in December.
To celebrate, Branch Street will offer a public tasting of both of these coffees between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. March 5. The tasting will be free for the public, and retail bags of these coffees will be available for purchase at that time.
