94	Batdorf & Bronson Olympia, Washington Sumatra Lake Tawar Roast: Medium-Dark Review Date: August 2006 Origin: Lake Tawar basin, Aceh Province, northern Sumatra, Indonesia Price: $12.95/12oz

Blind Assessment: In the aroma intense, pungent with grapefruit and cedar notes. In the cup full-bodied, with the dominating earthy pungency enveloped in deep sweetness. Continued grapefruit, pineapple and cedar notes settle toward honey and chocolate. Sweet, resonant, rich finish, totally free of astringency.

Notes: A superb, elegant version of a traditional Sumatra coffee type. Batdorf & Bronson is a premium wholesale specialty roaster with a long and honorable commitment to quality and sound relationships with growers. Visit www.batdorf.com or call 800-955-5282 for more information.

Who Should Drink It: Those who enjoy beverages that fuse fruit and pungency; certain styles of single-malt whiskies, for example.

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.
