86	Orleans Coffee Exchange New Orleans, Louisiana Decaf French Roast Blend Roast: Dark Review Date: June 2005 Origin: Not Disclosed Price: NA

Blind Assessment: Pungent and smoky throughout the profile, with some suggestions of semi-sweet chocolate, cedar and rosemary. In the cup the mouthfeel is lightly and pleasantly astringent, bracing rather than bitter or heavy.

Notes: No decaffeination method is noted on the package, which probably means this coffee was decaffeinated by the conventional or direct solvent method. Orleans Coffee Exchange is a quality-oriented wholesale roaster that bills itself "New Orleans Premier Micro-Roaster Since 1983."
