91	Surf City Coffee Aptos, California Hawaiian Blend Roast: Medium-Light Review Date: April 2006 Origin: 20% Kona; other blend components not disclosed. Price: NA

Blind Assessment: A pungent, sweetly tart, tight-knit complexity - cedar, orange, semi-sweet chocolate - runs through the profile from aroma through the long, rich finish. Magisterial and consistent when hot; stiffens and simplifies just slightly as the cup cools.

Notes: Surf City Coffee is a small-batch, primarily wholesale roaster located in the lively community around the University of California at Santa Cruz. Visit www.surfcitycoffee.com or call 831-685-8614 for more information.

Who Should Drink It: Not particularly Kona-like, but a fine breakfast cup, richly acidy and complex.

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.
