92	Terroir Coffee Acton, Massachusetts Ademe Bedane Ethiopia, Northern Italian Espresso Roast Roast: Medium-Dark Review Date: November 2008 Origin: Sidamo growing region, southern Ethiopia. Price: NA

Blind Assessment: Evaluated as espresso. Very sweet, deep, smokily rich aroma with distinct floral and orangy citrus notes and a hint of fresh-cut fir. In the small cup lightly syrupy mouthfeel and impressive complexity: Fresh-cut fir predominates, with baker's chocolate and continued orange and floral notes carrying into a rich, walnut-toned finish. Blooms in two to three parts milk nicely, with the predictable dark chocolate complemented by surprisingly persistent floral, orange and fir suggestions.

Notes: Certified organically grown. From the Bonko cooperative consisting of 300 farmers with an average farm size of two and a half acres. Terroir is a microroaster selling only elite single-origin coffees, no blends. It specializes in medium roast styles designed to foreground the character of the green coffee.

Who Should Drink It: An impressive single-origin espresso that manages to generate plump body and milk-mastering character while maintaining Ethiopia nuance.
