88	Intelligentsia Coffee Chicago, Illinois Honduras El Puente Roast: Medium Review Date: October 2005 Origin: La Paz Department, Honduras Price: NA

Blind Assessment: Smoky, cedar- and cherry-toned fruit in the aroma. In the cup round, rich, bittersweet, with a tart, cherryish chocolate - think pie cherries rolled in unsweetened chocolate - and a sweet, floral-toned acidity. The finish strikes me as slightly too astringent.

Notes: A prize winner in the 2005 Honduras Cup of Excellence competition, where as a green (unroasted) coffee it placed second out of hundreds of entries, attracting a score of 92-plus from an international jury. Intelligentsia, under the leadership of coffee buyer Geoff Watts and president Doug Zell, has become a leading supporter and buyer of Cup of Excellence coffees.
