93	Intelligentsia Coffee Chicago, Illinois Colombia Tres Santos Micro-Lot El Portal Roast: Medium-Light Review Date: February 2008 Origin: Valle de Cauca Department, western Colombia Price: NA

Blind Assessment: Sweet-toned, crisply rich aroma with chocolate, cedar, flowers, ripe tomato notes. In the cup powerfully but sweetly acidy, with continued flowers, cocoaish chocolate, tart cherry notes and a pungent hint of cedar. Rich, sweet, chocolate-toned finish; very slight astringency in the long.

Notes: Tres Santos is a coffee competition in Colombia organized by Intelligentsia green coffee buyer Geoff Watts designed to uncover the finest lots of coffee from small-holding farmers on a seasonal basis in the Huila (and in the case of this coffee) Cauca growing regions and reward them with recognition and high purchase prices. This prize-winner is from the farm of Javier Ladino. Intelligentsia is a distinguished Chicago-based specialty roaster and a leader in sourcing and roasting small, exceptional lots of coffee like this one.
