91	Rufous Taipei, Taiwan Espresso Rufous Roast: Medium-Dark Review Date: November 2008 Origin: Guatemala; Costa Rica, Colombia; Panama; Sumatra; Yemen; Papua New Guinea. Price: NA

Blind Assessment: Very sweet-toned, complex aroma: floral top notes, orangy citrus, chocolate. In the small cup balanced, lightly syrupy mouthfeel, naturally sweet, with a flavor dominated by fresh-cut fir with continued hints of chocolate, orange and flowers. Long, clean, flavor-saturated finish. Rather sharp in two parts milk, but blooms nicely in three parts, softening and turning toward a crisp, minty chocolate.
