85	A&E Custom Coffee Roastery Amherst, New Hampshire Costa Rica Organic Roast: Medium Review Date: August 2005 Origin: La Amistad growing region, southeastern Costa Rica Price: NA

Blind Assessment: Round, rich, rather simple coffee, with spicy (co-cupper Rodger Owen) and gingery (Ken) notes in the aroma. In the cup a soft, sweet acidity and buttery mouthfeel with a low-toned fruit that to Ken suggested prune and semi-sweet chocolate.

Notes: Apparently this certified organically grown coffee originates in the La Amistad growing region near the southeastern Costa Rican border with Panama, close to La Amistad International Park, a nature preserve and park that extends on both sides of the border. A&E Custom Coffee Roastery's succinct but comprehensive mission statement reads: "To provide each customer with personalized service and the freshest coffee possible in a business that promotes environmental stewardship and economic fairness to growers."

Who Should Drink It: Those who both care about the environment and have trouble deciding between ginger bread and brownies.

Coffee, more so than wine, is a continually changing product. Recent reviews, whether written by Coffee Review or readers, are most likely to reflect current versions of a given coffee.
