84	Superior Coffee Bensenville, Illinois Chicago Blues Blend Roast: Very-Dark Review Date: July 2005 Origin: Not Disclosed Price: NA

Blind Assessment: Sweet, quite smoky aroma, with floral top notes and suggestions of temperate fruit, pear perhaps. In the cup low-toned, smoky, sweet but salty, with chocolate undertones and continued hints of pear. The smoky tones carry into the finish.

Notes: This blend was packed and was evaluated in pre-ground format. It has an unusual cup character that can be plausibly taken as bluesy, or at least smoky.
