90	Victrola Coffee Roasters Seattle, Washington Colombia Huila Monserrate Excelso Roast: Medium Review Date: February 2008 Origin: Huila Department, Colombia. Price: NA

Blind Assessment: Flowers run through the profile from aroma through finish, with smoky notes in the aroma, crisp chocolate in the roughly full-bodied cup and again in the rather heavy finish.

Notes: Monserrate is produced by a community of 28 families near the town of La Plata in Huila Department. This coffee represents a special project and green coffee brand of Atlas Coffee Importers, Seattle. Victrola is a small-batch, hands-on roaster with a passionate commitment to quality and distinctiveness. Visit www.victrolacoffee.com or call 206-624-1725 for more information.

Who Should Drink It: Floral top notes float over a succession of rougher, more pungent sensations, making this a coffee for those who enjoy paradox and contradiction.

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.
